I can see the IOW from my bedroom window, if I stand on tiptoe, and can report that I saw nothing.

There again, I didn't look today.

Leave it to the Senior Service. The SBS stormed the tanker and 7 stowaways have been arrested.

Even woke the RAF up for 2 Chinooks on a SUNDAY.......they should all know the RAF finish on a Thursday at 1700 and Start Monday 1200.....damn inconsiderate.. the Chinooks Odiham (7 Sqn) Lifter 1 and Lifter 2 will have to take a few weeks off now..

Not content with disturbing one crew /Engineers weekend they disturbed 2......one direct to Poole and the other to St Athans to pick up some passengers then head to Poole.

Rallied from RAF Odiham.

Er......A couple of illegal immigrants have been found, no?

Lawyers representing the vessel's owners said the incident was "100% not a hijacking" despite reports.

Yeah I’m sure this is normal marine navigation off the IOW, huge barely submerged reefs....

Def not a hijacking that then got resolved rather swiftly by good old special forces.

Indeed. More like a group of stowaways got mouthy and threatening with the Captain and crew because they wouldn’t drop them off in Britain.
