Yes it was a B.Ae. 146 (or whatever they are called nowadays) crabbing into a string crosswind (and exaggerated by the telephoto lens). Even the BBC described it as 'literally flying sideways'
If even the BBC displays such ignorance (either of aeronautics or of the use of the word 'literally', what hope is there for the rest of us?
Perhaps there is scope for a 'Thick Media Comments' thread..
