A nomenclatural briefing for a visiting aviator, covering Great Britain, the United Kingdom, both Irelands, three Crown Dependencies, the Isle of Wight and a rock.
The United Kingdom is a country made of countries, on an island that is not the country, in a group of islands that is not a political unit, beside a second country that shares one of the islands. The Visitor is asked not to worry. The residents do not.
Dates, statutes and distances are real and referenced; the Visitor is real in the sense that somebody always asks.
