The fatal 100 Sqn crash at Akrotiri occurred in early Nov 80 and I'm pretty sure the aircraft was WH667 - a B2.

You recall correctly. WH667, a B.2, crashed on take off at Akrotiri after an engine blew up - 7 Nov 80 - 2 killed.

There was also a fatal crash off Gibraltar in about 1983 - that was a 360 Sqn jet.

That would be T.17 WJ625 which crashed into the sea on take off - 3 Aug 1983. Not sure of fatalities if any.

Googling WT478 does not mention an accident

Wheels up accident not mentioned because the kite wasn't lost or Cat 5'ed in a crash.
