A fishing boat which tangled with an underwater submarine this week has brought memories flooding back for a fisherman from Peel.
Geoffrey Comber says he underwent an almost identical ordeal 26 years ago today (Friday, 17th April) off the Island’s West coast when his boat was suddenly dragged backwards.
His crew had a lucky escape when they were forced to cut their gear loose in order to free themselves.
Mr Comber says in his case it quickly became clear what had been responsible:
Negotiators used to resolve 'peaceful protest' at prison
Prisoners refused to re-enter cells from exercise yard
Dog access scheme could be expanded across capital
Glen Falcon and beach currently being trialled
Countering Financial Crime Conference taking place in Douglas
Talks on 'pig-butchering' and combatting transnational criminal empires
Over 3,000 affected by Cabinet Office data breach
Commissioner Dr Alexandra Delaney-Bhattacharya has issued it with a reprimand
