Harrier engine change on the beach in Belize

Does anyone remember a harrier needing an engine change on the beach of a caye off Belize. I think it was from Flt 1417. It would of been in the late seventies. I can't find anything about it online. I think the pilot stopped on the beach, then got sand in the engine trying to start the engine, they flew out a crane, built a pad and changed the engine on the beach. It was just a small caye, but there were tourists watching. I thought it would be fun to see some photos?
