There was one accident involving a colleague at Valley in Feb 2002. The aircraft suffered a bird strike shortly after take off which caused an engine surge. The pilot attempted an AFL but ejected when he judged he wouldn’t make it back to the airfield. Aircraft was Cat5 but pilot suffered only minor injuries. BBC News | WALES | Jet crashes near RAF base
I don’t know of any others in the UK.
