70-2370 / LN (cn 9) This F-111F was operated by the 48th FW out of RAF Lakenheath and was still wearing Gulf War kill markings when this photo was taken on June 13 1992 Air Tournament International at Boscombe Down. She subsequently transferred to the 27th FW but suffered a weapons bay fire in 1994 and became a ground trainer. Some sources state that she is now a practice target on the Red Flag ranges in Nevada.

Crashed and destroyed 7 December 1982 on "Sgurr na Stri" a high peak in the Cullin mountains in the southern part of the Isle of Skye. (Richard Elliott) off the Isle of Syke Scotland (Ben Marselis).
Sandozer writes in Oct 2002...
On climbing on Sgurr na Stri, a 1600 foot mountain in Skye, Scotland, was amazed at the wreckage that still lies near the summit. Found what looks like a wing hinge approx 500 meters from the probable impact site. Piece weighs about 150 pounds made of steel, and looks like the fuselage to wing box joint. Took several photos, also found what looks like a starter motor further down the mountain.
Had unusually good weather to look around, must have been a very tragic incident, understand it happened in 1982, an F-111F from Lakenheath in a two ship formation.
Happened in December at night, presumably using TFR.

nothing to do with a stuck throttle. The pilot was exchange pilot from RAAF.

70-2389

Crashed and destroyed during Libyan Raid 14/15 April 1986. This F-111F was piloted by Major Fernando Ribas Dominici (AC) and Capt. Paul Lorence (WSO). Pilots who flew on the mission (EL DORADO CANYON) reported seeing a fireball fall into the sea during the raid, and in the light of a lack of any other evidence, the USAF concluded that the plane was lost to a SAM or AAA. After years of denying that they had the bodies of the two crew members, the Libyan authorities returned the remains of Fernando on request from the Pope. He was identified by dental records. Paul Lorence has never been returned. (source: Steve Davies). Callsign KARMA 52. In respect for the crew, the last F-111F flown to AMARC was with the same callsign. http://www.lakenheath.af.mil/about/winghistory80s.htm

Craig, I was in this unit early on (Feb 1979-Aug 1984).It started off as Det3 57TFW,then went to an OT&E oufit and finally the 431st. We originally had 4 E models,then 2 F models,and later 2 D model aircraft.We received the F model 715 at some point for testing,an aircraft that has been immortalised in the song "Why did you leave loose wheel..."a take off of the Kenny Rogers song.Upon takeoff,715 lost a wheel for whatever reason, and when it tried to take the barrier was told to go around even though the aircraft had hooked up to the barrier. It was slammed back to the gound driving the main landing gear into the fuselage. 715 served quite well in DS due to the fact that it was a 70s vintage aircraft with very few flight hours.
