Those of us at School in the late 1950s will remember an English teacher Mr Oak(e)shott who lasted only a few months, presumably filling a gap, but whose personal details were not known to us.
There is a Mr Robert Oakeshott reported to have recently died aged 77 in ‘The Economist’, ‘The Daily Telegraph’ and ‘The Times’ who may or may not be the same person.

If anyone can enlighten us as to whether this person is the Mr Oak(e)shott we knew, please tell us.
