Eventually, after being on the RAF Harrier GR3, he was sent to the RN to fly the SHAR. He ended up shooting down 2 jets and a helicopter, plus destroying one helicopter on the ground. Here is a good Wikipedia article on the subject - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_...l_Navy_officer
Hope that wiki piece is accurate…
