There's a story behind post 67.
After the aircraft had come to rest and everybody scrambled out, a senior army officer is supposed to have asked the pilot (M/P Cheesewright) to return to the wreck and retrieve said pongos hat.
When asked why it was so important the army officer is said to have replied: "somebody might want to salute me when we're rescued". Cheesewright, who is no longer with us, is said to have dined out on that story for sometime!
