Issued to 20 Squadron, RAF Tengah, Singapore 11/01/1966 and given the code letter 'O'. Written off (damaged beyond repair) 22/07/1968: only one undercarriage leg would lower due to hydraulic failure and the pilot overshot from his first approach to Tengah, Singapore. He then attempted a tight circuit in manual control but the aircraft rolled to port, forcing the Pilot (Flt. Lt. C. J. Pinder) to eject as 800 feet. XJ674 then crashed one mile south of Tengah.
