I've read about Sharky, but the problem is I've forgotten it all. Maybe I'll look it up again.  |

, 3 British pilots made 3 kills during the Falklands war and therefor was the highest killers, Lt CDR War, FLLT Steve Thomas and FLLT H Morgan, Thomas's 3 kills where all jet (one Mirage 3 and 2 Daggers)
The British did NOT shoot down 23 airplanes the first day, but they did make 23 air to air kills during the whole war.....
The first day saw 3 kills, Paul Barton got a Mirage 3, Allan Curtis (KIA) a Canberra and Bertie Penford a Dagger, another Mirage 3 was damaged by Steve Thomas and later shot down by own AAA while trying to land at Port Stanley 
Lt CDR Ward also damaged a T34C Mentor

Even the correction was only half good...so now you know
And no sharkey Ward was not top gun because his Kills where not all jet, ( 1 dagger, 1 Pucara and 1 C 130), where on the other hand Steve Thomas got 3 Kills, all Jet
quote:
"senior Sea Harrier adviser to the Command on the tactics, direction and progress of the air war"
And no Sharkey was the CO of the NAS 801 and nothing more, the Adviser for Admiral Woodeard was a Commander Honeyball
One of Sharkey's main points of his book is that the flag (commander) did not know **** about the Seaharrier and its avionics and therefore the brits lost more ships than they needed to | |

I knew before you came wading in with dumbass name and attitude... you honestly think I would care if you spoke nicely or politely to me? Unless you got something NEW to add to old threads, just deal with mistakes in the more recent ones ... y'know, the ones people haven't forgotten about.
