I've just watched the BBC Six o'clock News. During the first Falklands themed report (Thatcher radio broadcast and HMS Ark Royal sailing up the Thames), I'm sure I heard the reporter say something like "Ark Royal is of course the Navy's most
illustrious veteran of the conflict." Was I hearing things?
I've just sent a comment to the BBC advising more time spent be on research.
(my italics....given the context, to name (one intentionally, one unintentionally) two carriers that were not involved in the war is rather crass.)
