Flt Lt Spoons is still Flt Lt Spoons, so not the same chap. Recently married and already making babies, so no time for any TV appearances.
Discussion in crewroom just last night: On our cups we should have a nickname made up from the first two letters of your christian name and added to the first two of your surname (conversion started when 3 Sqn used to use first 3 surname in reverse, and Mr Gowers cup was used to present a brew to the first 'dark skinned' Harrier mate, How many stars does he have nowadays) I digress, those in the know can work out what Spoons' cup would have written on it!!
