Thank you very much Hans.
I did see ads for both planes and you are absolutely right, it was the plane in Ireland that was the 130 HP Reims model.
A little checking on the internet suggests that getting a plane on the N register should be possible. As you know there are quite a few N aircraft flying all over europe. The first of several big problem for me would be the cost of shipping the airplane back to the States when my time here in the UK comes to an end.
