There is a connection between 1 and 12 (well painted by the way, sir, son of the father). Those red, chequered fins remind me of the playing cards in Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland' (oh, alright, 'Alice's Adventures in the RAF, and What She Found There'), with the Queen of Hearts crying, "off with their heads!" Gentlemen of a certain age have been known to lose their heads to the Queen of Hearts in 12 and similar ladies, have they not?
