I had the dubious pleasure of attending TLP at Florrenes, Belgium in June 1991 where Mr Sharkey Ward & his "associates" arrived for just 2 days with their harriers. They proceeded to drain the bar of all alcohol, were loud & a total bunch of bragging loud-mouthed pratts.
Not an impressive man.....
Sounds like the old joke to me:
Q. How do you know there is a pilot at your party?
A. He'll tell you.
