Oh, I do

About 3 weeks before the shutdown, autumn 1968, as a teenager, I flew with Eagle from Liverpool to London on One-Eleven G-ATPI. Alas I left my hat (like John Lennon used to have, latest fashion, apparently extremely expensive - well, for the time) in the seatback pocket. My mother hopped up and down about the loss no end, I was actually in correspondence with whatever passed for a lost property office at Eagle when they went under. It took about a year until its loss was "mentioned" for the last time.

ZFT, you don't happen to know where my hat is, do you ?
