Ditched into the Moray Firth ten miles north of Lossiemouth, Grampian after the pilot, Group Capt Alan Hudson, the station commander at Lossiemouth, was forced to eject while attempting to recover the aircraft back to base, after it had suffered hydraulic failure resulting in being unable to lower the undercarriage.
Another Jaguar was shepherding the aircraft but the pilot elected to eject rather than risk crashing in a populated area after control difficulties were also experienced. It sank in 200ft of water but a salvage operation was begun to recover the aircraft. The pilot was in the water for 15 minutes before being rescued by a 202 Sqn Sea King HAR3 and was taken to hospital, although he was not seriously injured
