The ejection made the aircraft uncontrollable and the student ejected as well. The aircraft crashed into Bideford Bay.
The centre section of XX336 was picked up in fishing nets during May 1990
Crew of Hawk XX336 were Lt. Ahmed Hameed (Iraqi A. F. student pilot) and F/Lt. Mike Philips (instructor). Crew of XX353 were F/Lt. Pablo Mason (student pilot) and Lt. Cdr. Pete. Sheppard (instructor)
