Commentsmod to GR.7 & f/f 07.02.95. w/o 09.01.97 at RAF Laarbruch, Germany, when a/c pitched down during take off due to a fault in the flap auto sensor system which put the flaps in the fully lowered position. When the pilot rotated the nozzles after the short take off, the thrust blew directly onto the flaps, making it impossible to correct the pitch. The pilot ejected and landed on the airfield breaking a leg. Fortunately, a cross wind blew him away from the still moving aircraft, and it slid past him inverted.(with 4 Sqn)
