1st November 1978 while with 226 OCU at Lossiemouth, pilot was Ecuadorean.
I just had a quick google but could not find a link which I have previously used, it is to the Hansard documents from Parliament and lists aircraft losses with a brief description of the events, could be of use to you.

the unit shouldn’t be that hard to identify, there’s a big squadron badge on the side of the intake.
i’d have thought the photo was taken smewhere in RAFG as i don’t think we had much in the way of hardened buildings in the uk at the time

Yep Its an Ebay job. I have found over the years that it is an excellant source of original photos. My last book used quite a few off it, especially from the USA.
Incedentally I have discovered that the A/C crashed in 1978 taking the pilot with it. Possibly Lossimouth.

Did I see this on ebay the other day? Looks like it is wearing the 14 Sqn code D on the undercarriage door, according to a book I have it was only with this unit at Bruggen between May and October of 1975.
