Whilst having less and less confidence in the accuracy of the BBC reporting these days I feel they may be being blamed for others errors. Who told them about any unreliabilty etc of the Sea Harrier or which Sqns the Typhoons were from? Most likely some Civil serpent/Adminer on Mod Ground tour would have sent over some words for the Beeb chap to read out. I am sure even the Beeb would not have just plucked those phrases out of the air
