On 22 June 1936, a Blackburn Baffin, "S5162" of A Flight, RAF Gosport, flown by Lt Guy Kennedy Horsey on torpedo-dropping practice, buzzed "Normandie" a mile (2 km) off Ryde Pier and collided with a derrick which was transferring a motor car belonging to Arthur Evans, MP, onto a barge alongside the ship. The aircraft crashed onto "Normandie"s bow. The pilot was taken off by tender, but the wreckage of the aircraft remained on board "Normandie" as she had to sail due to the tide. It was carried to Le Havre. A salvage team from the Royal Air Force later removed the wreckage. Horsey was court-martialled and found guilty on two charges. Evans' car was wrecked in the accident, which was brought up in Parliament.
