Comments	written off 08.04.1997 when it slewed to the left off the runway on take off from Boscombe Down, Wiltshire after the port tyre burst. It ran across the grass, through a copse of trees which are planted to the left of Runway 05, which ripped the wings and elevators from the aircraft. At the this time the crew had already ejected but the aircraft was still on take off power. The fuselage hurtled towards the waiting line of traffic waiting at the traffic lights to cross the runway, got airborne as the sloping ground dropped away crossed an access road where the nose caught the kerb and rolled the fuselage which came to rest which an angle iron fence post sliced into the right hand side of the cockpit. The Construction crew building the rolling deck facility at the time had a grandstand view. The student test pilot received spinal injyuries while the instructor received minor injuries After the Board of Enquiry was concluded, the remains were passed to the then fledgling Boscombe Down Aviation Collection (BDAC)
