Suffered failure of No. 2 engine during a paired take off from Lossiemouth, Grampian. The pilot jettisoned the two fuel tanks, which exploded on the runway, in an attempt to gain height. This failed and he ejected at 50 feet. The aircraft crashed into the sea 400 yards off the beach. The pilot was quickly rescued from the water by a 202 Squadron Sea King.
From memory, although the starboard engine had indeed failed for some reason, it was established that the pilot had inadvertently selected the port throttle to idle, whilst carrying out the "From Memory" checklist for the starboard engine failure.
