Oh okay, didn't realise we were going that far down the ladder!



Sharkey Ward is the closest thing the United Kingdom has had to a fighter ace since the Second World War (so they say). A former Commander in the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm he shot down three Argentinian aircraft while flying Sea Harriers during the Falklands War. He was also the commander of 801 Naval Air Squadron on Her Majesty's Ship Invincible during that conflict.

Also known as .. Pontius Navigator's best friend!
