See the G MONX thread about the article on this aircraft in the Sunday Times by their "insight" team. This team is supposed to be highly respected for it's journalistic work, but I'm afraid that if they are amongst the best in the media then the rest must be unspeakably dire, judging by the poor quality of the article in question.

I know professionals in other fields who have tried to co-operate with journalists only to have their efforts spurned in infalmmatory and sensationalist articles. Unless the press and media start cleaning up their act and start reporting events such as these in a more balanced and factual manner, then they will receive a great deal less co-operation in future, and that will not be healthy.

It is for the media to act; after all, reporting events is their living, not ours. They would be well advised not to bite the hand that feeds.
