Well it all refers to O'Brien, so OB1 will do. Indeed I was known as that in a squadron that turned up inexplicably with three pilots named O'Brien.

How come you can recognise Steve, George[/quote] Well, the "how come.." bit is really a Midwestern thing - short for 'How do you come to know or do ...".
I saw a photo from this same gathering a few years ago in which Steve was noted, and, perhaps because we were then arguing about something, noted his face - and the fact that his coloring fit so well with his occasionally short temper. I'll say nothing about my own failings in that area though.
Walter, who evidently took the photo, now chides me for my "American conservatism & inflexibility" -- There is truly no level to which these Westphalians will not stoop in making their false accusations.
Jeez.
