On a lighter note, I believe there is a letter in 201 Sqn's history book from "Art" to Flt Lt P.L. who had lent him his chip hat because Art had left his at Waddington. It reads along the lines of
" Dear P,
Sorry for losing your forage cap, I left it onboard the aircraft. I believe the cost of a new hat is £25. I have bought you £25 worth of tickets in the Xmas Draw, I hope they bring you as much luck as your hat did me.
Love
Art"
I believe this is a true story, if it isn't .......well it's a good one anyway
