The important question is......behind those three aircraft, can we see Kit's house from here?


Almost.  ;D

At 0:33 they've crossed over to the east bank of the Severn and Lydney Docks can just bee seen right on the left hand edge of the shot on the far bank. My house is about 1.5 miles further back and to the left a bit. If they'd have posted that shot maybe 15 seconds earlier it would have been visible.

I dunno about three aircraft flights being quite rare though, they come over in almost any number, from singletons to sixes!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
