Thanks, with the accents and the beer I probably got an exaggerated version of the 1957 mishap. Or, some other airshow ditching of a large propeller plane. I do remember passes done with some of the engines feathered on four engine prop planes at airshows in those days.

And, for the F-4 vs. Harrier story, fantom has previously posted these pictures:

I can't find any record of a corresponding RAF Harrier loss, was it repaired perhaps? Was the Harrier really doing a demo at the time?
