This time however, Nick told us he took charge of a plan that saw Vietnamese migrants arrive from France by yacht at Ramsgate Marina.

Nick, who grew up sailing the English Channel with his father, told us he knew Ramsgate Marina was a big, low-security place which "no-one watched".

In Kent, Thanet District Council - which is responsible for Ramsgate Marina - told us it was Border Force, and not individual harbours, that was "the front line response for immigration and illegal activities".

He would return back to Ramsgate in the early hours before it got light, he told us.

For a time, he had to switch from Ramsgate to a different marina because one of the harbour staff told him there had been "foreigners" around his boat, having spotted some of the Vietnamese migrants.
