| Comments | crashed onto the runway at Marham, Norfolk on 02.09.04 during a night time touch and go. The navigator ejected but was injured. The two pilots attempted to eject but were both killed when the aircraft crashed, Flight Lt Lawrence William John Coulton (ejected at low level out of seat envelope - killed), Flight Lt Paul Gareth Morris (ejected at low level out of seat envelope - killed), navigator - named in latrer press reports at Flt Lt Stephen Gregory (ejected at low level and he was taken to a Nottingham hospital with severe back injuries). WJ866 was delivered to the RAF in September 1954, meaning that the aircraft crashed one month short of its 50th anniversary in RAF service. As the Canberra was finally withdrawn from front-line RAF service in 2006, this appears to be the last operational loss of a Canberra in RAF service | |||||||||||||||
