The right hand engine surged during a practice interception sortie but the pilot inadvertently shut down the left hand engine. He attempted to relight the left engine but the crew ejected when it was considered that they had insufficient height remaining for a recovery. The aircraft crashed near Holzminden, West Germany.
Both crew - Flight Lieutenant Pete Lines and Flight Lieutenant Colin Fryer - ejected at approx 2,000 feet.
