Hmmm, that reminds  me of an ignominious mistake of mine, on my first tour.  

I was doing the external checks for a night trip in a Jaguar and I got to the 
filler cap; I wasn’t used to the NATO connector and so when I felt for the cap 
and it didn’t feel right I thought it was my lack of experience with the 
system.  It turned out that the cap had not been fitted.  I lost no fuel, as 
the system had an integral NRV, but I lost the cap somewhere not long after 
takeoff.  

I felt like a fruitcake :~0
