Military History

Derek J. Sharp

Derek J. Sharp was born at the end of the Second World War and following a grammar school education, joined the RAF as a pilot. Following postings as a strike/attack pilot, he became a flying instructor and then spent ten years flying Jaguar fighter-bombers. Having taken over command of 151(F) Squadron, he suffered a catastrophic duck strike, which left him totally blind. Despite being told he would never fly again, he defied all odds and ended his career as a senior instructor and VIP pilot on Vickers VC10 aircraft.
