I don't want to get into a slanging match here, but you're talking class a bo11ocks, BEags.
I suspect the fact that The Times reporter got both the consortium name and the aircraft type wrong in his article was probably due to a lack of familiarity with the project, rather than the quality of anybody's
PR. From my experience, AirTanker's
PR machine has actually been less evident and forthcoming over the course of the competition.
Whatever the merits of the respective
PR campaigns, your allegation that TTSC tried "to get their invited guests into lunch early to avoid them seeing the flypast" is utter rubbish. The flyby happened well after lunch, after most of their guests and
PR people (and spectators) had left Fairford. And no, there were no last minute changes in the flight scheduling to avoid the event.
By all means keep banging the drum for EADS and the A330, but get your facts right next time - you're swift enough to criticise journalists when they get theirs wrong.
