Flap40 thank you very much for giving a professional colleague credit where it is due. It is appreciated.
KLMuk press office did well this morning, too. Prompt response with accurate information, even at 7am on a bank holiday. If only all airlines were this smart.

PS, the reason I didn't post a byline on the MEN copy is because it was sent out on the wires by MEN with no name on. The MEN website version is similarly anonymous (but for an email address). Given the speed with which it appeared in print this morning, I would imagine it's a bit of a group effort.
