I have some sympathy for Sharkey Ward for the following reason:
His Son was a Navy Harrier pilot (and a very fine chap for those who knew him).
His Son effectively 'lost his job' when the Harrier was culled, a decision that many in the Navy blamed on the RAF.
His Son went on to fly for Jet 2 but took his own life on 15 Nov 2018.
I do not pretend to know the reasons behind this but as a father myself I can only imagine the effect that such an event would have on someone.
