Saddened to hear of the death of 'Spon'. I served under him three times, probably uniquely; he was my Flight Commander, my Squadron Commander (OC XI Sqn) and my Station Commander (Binbrook). Aside from being a great man, he was one of the best fighter pilots and fighter leaders it was ever my privilege to meet. He will forever be linked with the Lightning and I learned much from him, mostly about how to win. RIP Sir.
