Comments: Lost after ingesting a bird which caused an engine fire. Both crew ejected safely and the wreckage came down just off the southern tip of Landegode island, Norway. Backseater was a female administration officer on an incentive flight. Wreckage was moved to Kjeller depot.
This aircraft had been modified to MLU standard and was delivered from the depot at Kjeller in january the same year. It is the only MLU loss for the RNOAF to date. Knock on wood we don't have more!
I worked at Bodoe at the time. Was out drinking with some friends and got an sms in the morning that there had been a crash. Sobered me up in an instant. I was SO HAPPY to hear the pilot and secretary riding back seat was OK!
