How did he get the nick Foggy? I read something about it being connected to Dew and became Foggy Dew. Is this the case or is it something else?

As far as I'm aware, "Foggy" is a nickname, derived from the traditional song "The Foggy Foggy Dew"; but it could also be because, in his earlier episodes, he would occasionally "blank out" everything around him to help him concentrate, particularly when he was thinking up new ideas or finding solutions to problems. It is quite noticeable in "The Man from Oswestry", but he also does it in "A Merry Heatwave" and "Tight Jeans and Metal Detector" among others.

Ta, I thought there may be more to the story, like something from his military says?
This is all covered off in Andrew Vines book, not sure if you've managed to secure a copy yet?
