Anthony 'Sharky' Ward, Ex Royal Navy, hence the nickname. (John 'Sharkey' Ward was a British Sea Captain (1553-1622) turned Barbary Corsair aka Yusuf Rais. Used as a basis for Captain Jack Sparrow). Left the Royal Navy in 2000 after 22 years service, the great majority being at the RNAS Yeovilton in Somerset, where I live nearby, Next 20 years has mostly been working in the Defence Industry/British MOD until early retirement called Easter 2022. Now enjoying as many holidays with my partner, Mary, as I can afford and starting to travel the UK in our motorhome, hence the contributions from around the world.
