Written off 08/10/2001: Ran off the end of the runway on landing at RNAS Yeovilton, Somerset. The pilot (Squadron Leader Spon Clayton) ejected just before the aircraft slid into the river Yeo. Squadron Leader Clayton sustained two crushed vertebra (to go with 3 from his ejection form a Hawker Hunter on 15th February 1992) and a sore ankle, as he landed on the concrete!!)
