Loss of uniform, as distinct from civilian, hat, was a real problem for me when I 'went civvy'. I've always had a poor memory, so I used to write reminder notes and fit them inside my hat - hence constant reminders. Ground instructing with BA and Virgin was non-uniform thus occasional chaos - such as turning up at Sussex House and our lovely Lxxxx asking why I wasn't at the Heathrow sim !!!
Crawley to Cranebank was quite speedy !!
