Diverted to Cardiff/Wales airport to make an emegerency landing after multiple birdstrikes.
Recovered by road to RAF St. Athan, and then transferred back to Cottesmore. Due to the withdrawal of the Harrier fleet on 15th December 2010 (less then five weeks later) a decision was taken not to repair the aircraft. Instead it was declared CAT5(scrap) on 15/12/2010 and placed into storage at Cottesmore pending disposal.
It was eventually one of a number of Harriers that were sold to the US Government for spares recovery for their AV-8 Harrier fleet. Last reported in open storage at Cherry Point MCAS, North Carolina, 30 miles ENE of Jacksonville, NC in November 2011
