When the Sea Harrier Landed on a Cargo Ship#shorts

The Alraigo incident occurred on 6 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 (R06), which was operating off the coast of Portugal. Watson was launched in a pair of aircraft tasked with locating a French aircraft carrier under combat conditions including radio silence and radar switched off. After completing the search, Watson attempted to return to the Illustrious, but was unable to locate it. Running low on fuel, and with his radio having stopped working, Watson headed towards a nearby shipping lane, where he made visual contact with the container ship Alraigo

I looked this up. He had been sent on exercise with only 75% of his required training completed. He was reassigned to desk duty for "substandard airmanship" but was able to resume flying later in his career. The plane survived with minor damage and flew again. The ships crew and owners were assigned £570, 000 as compenation.
