Spencer Davies Oi/c 84 ( Coventry Airport ) Squadron certainly received a sense of Deja Vous recently when his Wing Staff Officer Squadron Leader Martin Harrison visited the unit in order to promote him to the rank of Flight Lieutenant on behalf of the Wing Commander .

Spencer joined 163 (Coventry-Phoenix) Squadron in December 1991 when the then Flight Lieutenant Harrison was his Commanding Officer. He quickly became an integral part of the unit and just one year later in December 1992 was presented with the Squadron Best Cadet Trophy. He progressed quickly through the ranks to become Cadet Warrant Officer and on the way was appointed Lord Lieutenant's Cadet, meeting Her Royal Highness Princess Ann, gained a Flying Scholarship and an IACE to Sweden . He was Commissioned in the VR(T) in 2000 and after various postings became a Squadron Officer at 84 Squadron where he still serves as Officer in Charge.

In civilian life he is a Director of a sales and marketing company based in the West Midlands.

Sqn Ldr Harrison said " To actually promote an ex cadet of my old unit gives a real sense of achievement. It shows how beneficial the Corps is to youngsters especially when they progress through the ranks and eventually end up doing what 'we' were not that long ago! Spencer has a good rounded knowledge of the Corps and I am confident will do well in his role".
