Collided with a bus at night which failed to stop at an intersection while the aircraft was taxying at Akrotiri, Cyprus.
Struck off charge as Cat.5(Components) 1-8-58 and aircraft broken up at Akrotiri by 131 MU. Fuselage, however, partly repaired, and sold to the Royal Jordanian AF 11-11-58 for ground instructional use. Apparently later put back into active Royal Jordanian AF service!
Later donated/sold by Jordan to Oman as 719, and still in existance, albeit dumped at Thumrait, Oman in August 2006
