There was a Harrier from Dunsfold in which an incapacitated pilot was lost in the late 80s/early 90s - continued out in to the Atlantic shadowed by several other fighters. It wasn't shot down though, crashed after fuel exhaustion.

Similar to the Payne Stewart Learjet (and Tom Lampitt in a UK Beech 200 many years ago).
