Well yes, "or nearly so."  Sure.  Certainly a lot closer to OS than the CC
situation, that's obvious.  But John Crowley is building up his timelines
with these bitty little details, and unless you yourself have cracked the
encyclopedia, I don't know that you know that in R101 crashed in OS 1930
and in C2 1935 (or thereabouts).  Is this one, tiny detail enough?  Hard to
say, maybe.  But it is a difference that JC has signalled, however
obscurely.
