There not the only one's. Duxford put a FB post up showing an F4 and claiming it was a Mosquito.

As reported on Gloucestershirelive. Stark photo shows heavy US Bombers at a Midlands Air Base is the headlines.
Not really surprising crap reporting as the live pages are terrible as anyone who has come across Devonlive and the now going same way Dorsetlive.
Really think they just watch local social media then find something to post with headlines a infant school kid would do better.

Came South on the M1 yesterday and remarked to my mate that we had just re-entered the South of England. Watford Gap!

Heard that one before, but works both ways.
Another one is South is anywhere after Crewe if you're heading from the North.
Also civilization stops at Watford Gap or Crewe depending on where you live.
