    JN-3s and -4s were used by UK-based Reserve Squadrons/Training Squadrons during WW1, so there is a UK link (not that there needs to be one!).

    They are one and the same thing: little original will be used, but that is common among aircraft described as ‘restorations’.

    Yep – same down our way in the Vale of Pewsey (or a bit west): Hercs, Merlins, Chinooks and Osprey are all regular visitors to our roof tiles. And lately the A400Ms have joined in too. Quite impressive when you’re ready for it but less of a lark at 2am when you’re dreaming of Spitfires (honest dear).
