While in Class G (unregulated) airspace, LN-WFA was operating under a Radar Information Service (RIS) from Scottish Control. Following information from the controller of closing traffic (two Sea Harriers operating from a Royal Navy vessel in the North Sea), the pilot acquired the reported traffic on his Traffic Collision and Avoidance System (TCAS). He then received a Resolution Advisory (RA) alert/warning commanding a climb, with which he complied, and subsequently reported this manoeuvre event to Scottish Control.
