And yet another Atlantic Baron story.
There was a certain captain on Britannias who was exceedingly proud of his smart appearance. When he travelled by train to Heathrow to fly (people did in those days) he always kept an immaculately pressed pair of uniform trousers in his locker in 221 (the old 221 on North Side) so that he could change before going out to the aircraft.
There was another captain who was an inveterate practical joker. One day he broke into the locker and removed the trousers. When the 'captain of the immaculate appearance' found his trousers missing, he refused to fly until they were found.
History does not recount how long that trans-Atlantic flight was delayed!
