The aircraft took off from RAF Andrews Field in Braintree, Essex as part of a Wing Fighter Group (Rodeo 413) to sweep the Munster / Leipzig region. Owing to adverse weather conditions the mission was abandoned near Munster. After leaving the main formation FX989 exploded in mid-air and the wreckage was scattered over the Anzegem area
