I've not heared of such an incident during the Falklands War but Sea
Harrier FRS.1 number ZA176 landed on a Spanish freighter on 07 June
1983 when it ran low on fuel following a navigation system failure.
The freighter owners tried to claim slavage of the plane but it was
eventually returned.

You're right. You're referring to the same incident, but indeed it took place after the Falklands war. My mistake.
