Fighter Recovery by Robert Tomlin.

Produced with the co-operation and agreement of 801 Naval Fighter Squadron, Yeovilton, the picture clearly demonstrates the skills of the aircrew and ship crew as a Sea Harrier lines up to land on HMS Illustrious. 801 Squadron was the last to operate this aircraft. In the background is HMS Gloucester which operates in conjunction with Illustrious to provide protection with her Sea Dart missiles. This picture was issued to commemorate the forthcoming stand down of 801 Squadron in March 2006 and the withdrawal from service of the Sea Harrier.
