An example of the inaccuracies that undermine and discredit even the 'serious' press is this passage from the Times Online (I assume it's in the paper version too):
THE RAF Hercules crew killed in Iraq were one of the RAF’s most experienced teams of air dispatchers who pride themselves on being able to deliver anything, anywhere in the world, no matter how inhospitable or remote. The crews from 47 Air Despatch Squadron Royal Logistical Corps, based at RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire, would have been used to working with special forces, including the SAS. As well as dropping and extracting them from hostile territory, they would have been responsible for supplying them with arms and equipment.
47(AD) Sqn have nothing to do with this tragedy, and such 'reporting' seems calculated to alarm and distress people who are not involved. Despicable and pathetic.
