Flt Lt David Morgan, Lt Cdr RN?

Am in the process of reading Flt Lt David Morgans book "Hostine Skies: My Falklands Air War" I'm sure its probably not likely to be as controversial as Sharky Wards book but might give the Hermes side of the conflict rather than the Invincible one.

I am a little puzzled by his rank(s) however..... He seems to be referring to himself as both Flt Lt, and Lt Cdr quite interchangeably?

So how does this work (maybe the book will tell me as I get through it, but I'm impatient...)? He started at Dartmouth rather than Cranwell, but was a Flt Lt through the war IIRC, and served in RAFG as an RAF harrier pilot. Hes in his RAF uniform at Buck House picking up his DSC, but then on the title page, refers to himself as Lt Cdr David Morgan DSC RN?

Anyone shed any light??
