Well, as the creativity seems to have run out I reckon it’s time to put the bemused out of their misery.

Medley Manor farm was occupied in the late ninettenth and very early twentieth century by a man named Jason Saunders. His grandson, a young lad named Geoffrey deHavilland*, spent much time there and it was from his grandfather that he received £1000 pounds for him to set up a business making aeroplanes. The rest, as they say, is history.
