From the clues below, can you determine what colour anorak each was wearing, their position, their age (21, 23, 31, 36, 40), and the number of trains and planes spotted?

Each of these words can be split in half, and two letters can be placed in the middle to create a new six-letter word.

The four added pairs of letters, in order, spell an 8-letter word. What is that word?
LEND
LIAR
PALE
COIN

As an example, DOOR can be split into DO + OR. CT can then be placed in the middle to create: DO + CT + OR = DOCTOR.
