Due to short circuit in the electrical system, the engine start sequence began during climb out from a roller landing at Elvington, Yorks. This caused thrust variations and the instructor turned back towards the airfield. As the aircraft was too low to reach the runway a forced landing was attempted on a taxiway. Only 35 seconds from first symptom to impact. The right wing struck the ground as the undercarriage was lowering and broke off. The aircraft slid across the airfield for 140 yards. Both crew suffered major back injuries
Struck off charge 3/10/1983 as Cat.5(G/I): To Abingdon for ground instructional use as 8786M. To No.1 SoTT Halton for ground instructional use by 1985. Later (by 1995) to Finningley, Yorkshire and reduced to a nose section. The nose section was later reported at Haydock, Merseryside, then Redhill, Surrey
As a nose section, sold off to a private individual in Haydock, Merseyside, and later to the Wings Museum, Redhill, Surrey
