1989, Flight from HMS Illustrious
Pilot: Dave Garrison (GBR)
Aircraft: Pegasus Q 462.
First (and perhaps only?) takeoff and landing by a microlight on an aircraft carrier, in the Atlantic ocean, some one hundred miles off Florida, USA.
It was largely his patience as an instructor which allowed me to gain my PPL "D".
IIRC there was a picture of himself and microlight on the deck of HMS Illustrious, hanging on his office wall.
