The Alraigo Incident

The Alraigo Incident occurred on 6th June 1983, when a lost British Royal Navy Sea Harrier fighter aircraft landed on the deck of a Spanish container ship. Its pilot, Sub-lieutenant Ian Watson, was a junior Royal Navy Pilot undertaking his first NATO exercise from HMS Illustrious, which was operating off the coast of Portugal.

    Did the author make a cargo ship and by the way took a picture of a hovercraft. I skied straight from the airport on the Isle of Wight into the water.
