What's behind your AFF user name?

Yes, bit unimaginative...enjoyable thread this!

The back story is this - I used to be in the RAAF and one of my jobs was as an Air Movements Officer.

Another ex-RAAF Supply Officer here, and I have another retired 'Box Packer' as a neighbour.

My handle is pretty straightforward, I'm a part-time ski instructor who also plays old-boys rugby.

Mine is a contraction of my name but also an allusion to a British medical satirical combo called " Struck off and die"

 

[Cossie]

Well mine is pretty boring, always wanted a Cosworth, but got a cat instead, called him Cosworth, he was a brown Burmese and is closest to swmbo's head..



Then I got a real Cosworth, several in fact, Escort and Sierra Sapphire. My estate will have fun sorting out my stuff....


Sorry, I digress.

Mine isn't my name, it's my initials, how they would be said.

 

[AIRwin]

And that makes me the Nice Moderator??

Naughty?

As a relatively new-comer to AFF, I cycled through a series of preferred usernames and found out that all had been taken. I fell back on an old photo that I had just scanned, of me going solo in a Kookaburra glider in 1975, and went with that.

The Outsiders by S E Hinton. Classic teen-lit. Adapted into a pretty decent feature film by Francis Ford Coppola, which starred an incredible array of then-emerging Hollywood actors.

It was made into a Broadway musical (have to say it would have been very far down my list of movies that should be made into a musical!!) and must have been alright as it won Best Musical at the Tony awards last year.

I dunno, it does have echoes of West Side Story, minus the prominent R&J plot.

My first handle was a combination of words from something I previously built.

The current one ....... is a double entendre (of sorts), and also links back to the original.


My avatar was a photo I took in a local park where I used to live. I'm all about living in the past .........

And that makes me the Nice Moderator??

Or................. It could be............... #IYKYK

 

[bobeaumontswife]

My husband's cough star name is Bo Beaumont. First dog = Bo, First street = Beaumont
My own cough star name is Meg Pearce, and that doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Nice one. Long time since I've seen a Kookaburra, or a Kingfisher, or gliders of that generation. My own first solo was a little more boring - in the very vanilla Blanik... Fun times though

 

[NM]

Or................. It could be............... #IYKYK

And that likely includes those who attended AFF Gathering #17 in Brisbane last year

I have also been known as Nelly Mobbs in some time/space continuums so perhaps that had some influence in my username creation? And that is also a case of IYKYK

Speaking of that blast from the past, I saw an article yesterday about someone who booked and rode every AA flight number that was a b*s. Ah......... good old TPR and Lestok Tours.

Shhhh ... don't mention the war.

Oh, I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.

That did influence my previous avatar. And I still have the NM Bus

My agree was to the enjoyable part, not the unimaginative, BTW!

I bet we know each other then, or know of each other - it’s a pretty small club, the ex- Box Packer/ENG PEN.

Well that’s still very cryptic @Flashback
