What's the difference between a Wood white and a Real's WW?

If I wanted to see all 59 (and I didn't see a Wood White in 2006) how would I be able to confirm that I had seen a Real's WW. I imagine I'd need a magnifying glass, yes?
I saw an Eastern WW on holiday once and determined it by the colour of the antennae (I had to catch it in a net). Just thought I'd add that fact to impress everybody.
Furthermore, are Real's WW about? Are there specific sites where we can spot 'em, or do they lig around with the bog standard variety? I'm curious how the chap in the BBC Wildlife mag managed to tick RWW off the 59 list.
