Both crew ejected during a take off run using the ski ramp at Yeovilton, Somerset after what appears to have been a catastrophic engine failure. The aircraft crashed in flames onto the airfield suffering severe damage to the cockpit section and starboard wing area. Both crew were injured and needed hospital treatment. The wreckage was moved into the accident investigation hangar at Yeovilton. It was not repaired and went into store at St. Athan.
ZD992 was later superbly restored to non-airworthy condition by Everett Aero in Suffolk and is now believed to be private owned in the Manchester area. (According to some sources, ZD992 was sold to a private owner in the Knutsford, Cheshire, area in November 2012)
