Oh, and calm down, I read this site for enjoyment, not leads.
And i'm sure there's some irony in that the people who are quick to slag off the press for jumping on a story (rightly or wrongly) with tuts of disgust and lines of vitriol, think it's ok, on the other hand to discuss on PPRUNE rumour and the facts of an incident without necessarily knowing facts
Something which they're quick enough to admonish the press for.
If anything the BBC piece was right to run, given the wide (although diminishing) circulation of the Mirror it appears to be righting a wrong and has investigated and corrected what could've been a misleading story. Let's face it, the mirror's not going to publish a correction, is it.
