Thanks Duncan for bringing this to my attention,what a co-incidence as you say ! I was recently informed that after the death of the owner of the Jenny Wren it had been presented to a museum for preservation,although she is in a sorry state she will be loveingly restored in memory of the designer/builder.
Basically a Luton Minor with a cockpit she was designed in the days when the CAA were a little more tolerant of conversions,if you do a bit of research look up 'Luton Major' a design reincarnated by a certain Mr Arthur-Orde-Hume who built these 'enlarged models' in the loft of his home on the Isle of Wight,the simularity is there to be seen.
Whilst on the subject compare the Veron Cardinal with the Jenny Wren.
