It’s unfortunately time for Ross (Previously Cdr Ross Spooner, OBE, OCD & Bar)to hang up his flying boots and enjoy retirement. Having joined Raleigh in 1987 he has ended his career as a Merlin Helicopter Instructor that has achieved over 4000 flying hours. So often do personnel leave the RN without the proper send off. For those friends and family that know him, he is a true gent and has contributed greatly to the Fleet Air Arm and Royal Navy during his time in service. Please donate so we can get him a gift he deserves.
