Commander “Sharkey” Ward flew the Phantom F-4K from the deck of HMS Ark Royal IV before going to the Ministry of Defence to oversee the final development of the Sea Harrier fighter aircraft. He was then appointed to receive the aircraft into service and to bring the aircraft and its crews up to full combat readiness. His success as “Mr. Sea Harrier” was demonstrated in the Falklands air war, where he served with distinction in command of 801 Naval Air Squadron.
