Though built as an FRS1 and flown as such on 02 February 1988, ZE695 was converted to FA2 standards in 1990. She was the second conversion, and never served as an FRS1. On 2nd April 1993 ZE695 was the first FA.2 airframe to be handed back to the Fleet Air Arm.
After conversion to FRS2 she became part of the FRS2 OEU (in 899 markings as 711), later serving with 800 Squadron (as 124?).
She had a 'spill' at Yeovilton on 26 July 2000.
The nose wheel tyre burst when the aircraft touched down in the undershoot area at Yeovilton, Somerset at the end of a delivery flight from Dunsfold to 899 NAS. The aircraft slewed off the runway onto the grass causing the nose wheel to collapse. It continued to slide across the grass and caught fire at which point the pilot ejected. It came to rest at the edge of the 847 NAS dispersal and suffered CAT 4 damage. With the announcement that the Sea Harrier fleet was to be withdrawn it was withdrawn from use earlier than expected it was declared CAT 5 and departed St. Athan on 24th September 2002 for scrapping.
She wasn't looking well at St Athan in September 2002!
