Sharkey's World

:ugh:

He needs to fix his server latency ...

NB. It's quite possible some of these "papers" aren't new but uploaded to a new host ... anyway thought I'd share

RAF - the evil darkness
 

just ignore, or read and chuckle. Once credibility & impartiality are considered to be AWOL.......

Do you not recall the "French taunters" in Holy Grail.

OR is he correct - should we have a witch hunt and a mass burning?

Someone should really "fix" his server latency - then there's no problem!

Who cares?

The partial ramblings of someone who retired decades ago are of little consequence.

I reckon Ward will be a bundle of laughs in his care home in the Caribbean.

Dear oh dear. He's still at it, his one man maritime jihad. If he hadn't been droning on like this for 20 years I'd put it down to Alzheimers.

To be serious, its rather a sad that a gentleman who earnt some genuine credibility in the Falklands, consistently ruins what would otherwise be his good name by spouting narrow minded, obsolescent, petty and tedious drivel which does no favours to any of the services. Give it a rest shippers.

Simply untrue.

And an insult to those brave comrades who died.

And if something as blindingly obvious as that is untrue, just how accurate/unbiased are the rest of his ramblings.

Seriously, some of you Navy guys out there need to get a grip on this guy, he's a shameful embarrassment. :mad:

It just keeps getting better with each one he writes, although I'm not sure who he thinks is going read or take any notice of his demented ranting.

Unfortunately, he seems to have run out of new ideas and has resorted to recycling the same old tired arguments so that his reader (singular) will be getting the impression that his measured deliberations and insightful analysis are starting, just starting mind you, to look a bit threadbare. His reader might also wonder if Sharkey Ward is now so twisted with bitterness and loathing that he's becoming ever so slightly unhinged.

:zzz:

:D:D:D:D:D

Wouldn't it be amusing to drop a "Flour Bomb" (couple of ton feels about right ... Light Blue in colour of course) on his Beech Hut in Granada ... Not to difficult to get a couple of Tonkas out there ... thus demonstrating our (RAF) ability to hit global targets :E

Would also have the added benefit of visibly trashing his arguments ...

Perhaps a bit too aggressive Coff :=

Liking the light blue flour bomb plan. We should have no shortage of vounteers. But, of course, they'd certainly be shot down - I know this because Cdr Ward (ret'd1) said so.

1 = Retarded

If only we still had the Sea Harrier, we'd be able to take over the world.... :ugh:

Oh my God! It just keeps getting better. I've just found the "About Me" bit in Sharkey's World. First this picture

And then...

I don't know whether to pee myself laughing or vomit.

All the sharks I have seen have got a better set of teeth than that.

The decision to axe Harrier was bonkers you know...

-RP

He does display a remarkable failure to report facts. In particular the StormShadow/Tomahawk/Libya section. Someone should point out the failure rates of the Tomahawk vs SS - SS achieved 100%, and he is comparing apples with sliced bread (different weapons for different purposes).

I do not fight for either service (despite my loyalties) - we should be, and are, providing the best for Defence regardless of colour of uniform. He forgets that, and singularly argues against the RAF. He would do better to argue for Defence.

I have to hand it to him - he spins a good dit, and sounds authorative even though he is wrong on many counts.

Retire and be done.

Yeah, but I'm really starting to like the decision to axe Sea Harrier, simply because it must be agonizingly annoying to the old bearded one. :E

Chaps,

If, as you say, he is simply an embarassment peddling non-truths then I am sure he will only, in time, defeat himself and we can all rest easy. We seem to have got ourselves into a cycle of 'Look what Ward says - Rubbish - Burn him, he's a witch - Look what he's said now!'

As many have said on this and other threads, those of us actually at the coal face are all still committed to making this work - and I remain to be convinced that retired officers or those still serving of far greater rank than I - both groups being the natural predators of Jointery - will dissuade us from doing so any time soon.

Not even close, Mate. As a retired officer I can certainly never be accused of being or having been a predator of Jointery. Sharky's a completely different issue, though.

Orca ... You are perfectly correct on the need for front line jointery ... But this guy can cause harm ... For example Politicians are only too fond of selectively using information for their own agendas. Ward used the Press effectively over the loss of the Sea Harrier ... :ok:

The first time I heard "Jointery" put forward as the way to go was in 1960, when I was a Grammar School Army Cadet. In 1963 I joined the RAF and in all my service as a Maritime Pilot, I found that the Army were very keen on Jointery, but the RN considered themselves to be the Senior Service and the rest of Her Majesty's Services to be somewhat below them.

What were they smokin' at Dartmouth?

I think it is entirely fair to point out his lies and factual errors. Just because we all know on here doesn't mean that Joe Public isn't taken in by him. As long as we keep balancing his tosh with facts, we will counter his anti-RAF propaganda.

If you search "Sharkey Ward" on Google, P Prune is the 3rd reply headed "more RAF bashing from Sharkey" so at least we stand a chance of folk realising that he spouts utter bolleaux.

NR ... Perhaps a bit harsh. I have a number of RN friends up to the Rank of Commander ... all are up for a bit of leg pulling but all three Services will have Tw@ts who think they are something different ... but thankfully a very small minority :ok:

Some people display Prize Tw@tness though ... See OP !
