Ralf Wykes-Sneyd No Photo Available Commanding Officer of Prince Andrew's unit, 820 Naval Air Squadron, during the Falklands Conflict.
Subsequently awarded the Air Force Cross, with the following citation : Lieutenant Commander Wykes-Sneyd commanded 820 Squadron with flair and distinction. During the Falkland Island crisis, 820 Naval Air Squadron flew for 64 days out of 66 on a continuous 24-hour basis. The majority of the flying inside the Total Exclusion Zone was at night, in poor weather or in fog. Throughout this exceptionally protracted marathon effort the serviceability of the Squadron was exceptional with barely a sortie missed. During this period, in which his Squadron flew over 1400 sorties, he showed outstanding leadership, drive and professionalism. His own flying skills were exceptional, setting a standard which inspired equally fine achievements from his Squadron. Lieutenant Commander Wykes-Sneyd's personal qualities of cool determination and resolution in preventing submarine attack, together with the remarkable record of his Squadron, mark him out as an outstanding Squadron Commanding Officer under the most testing conditions.
