Are all of these the Common wasp?
1) I thought this might be a male, it was quite big 
2) Worker? With lots of little Marmalade hoverflies (Episyrphus balteatus)? 
3) This one looks a bit different from the others, but wasn't particularly big.  |

Morning J,
The first is the Median Wasp, Dolichovespula media.
Take care, Jason  |

1) D. media
2) Probable V. vulgaris (+ a couple of Episyrphus balteatus)
3) V. vulgaris |

#2 looks to have quite a broad band on the abdomen, it could also be Vespula rufa.
