Dave Garrison completed a world microlighting first by making several take-offs and landings on HMS Illustrious, one of the Royal Navy's 'small' aircraft carriers, flying a Pegasus Q 462. This exercise in precision flying involved landing on a 'strip' barely wider than the Q's wingspan, lined with Sea Kings and Harriers and subject to the turbulence created by the bow wave.
