Narrative:Crashed at RAF Bruggen, Germany, after the nose wheel collapsed during a "touch and go" landing. Due to the impending withdrawl from service of the Harrier GR.3, the aircraft was not repaired (although the damage was initially assessed as Cat.4(R) - repairable).
Instead XZ999 was allocated for spares recovery on 10/06/1990, and was struck off charge as Cat.5(scrap) once this had been completed on 20/05/1991
