Thanks for the heads-up on this book.

Sadly, Gypsey Moth IV left Greenwich in 2004 after being sold for £1. She was restored to seagoing condition and did another trip around the globe in 2005.

Embankment station is the London Underground station that serves Charing Cross mainline station. Embankment station is just to the north of the rail bridge next to the (erm) embankment of the River Thames.

This "yacht hotel" left several years ago and is now, I think, in Gibraltar. A new "yacht hotel" arrived last year (2014) and is moored further to the west. The area where the old hotel used to be has been developed and is now a part of Excel.

The aircraft shown are a Hawker Hurricane Mk II and a Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX - both are fibreglass replicas.
