There's a Sebastian Flyte in Brideshead Revisited, but I admit I don't see the connection!

The other one is (viv)a voce t = avocet
Flyte sounds like flight, which is a characteristic of all the clues starting with letters (i.e. birds)
I see. I didn't look at the Guardian crossword yesterday, so I didn't appreciate the reference.
Yes, you couldn't have known without the specific context of alphabet!
