Has there been a change in the rules of late regarding naming those involved in non-fatal accidents. I saw in the RAF News they named both occupants from the Harrier crash in Cyprus and were very quick to name the chap today. Whilst I know people will say that families of all the other Tucano pilots can rest easy by naming the individual today but it certainly didn't used to be the case (regardless of whether informing net of kin had taken place or not). Is this just a result of everyman and his dog having mobile comms so its easier to quash rumour control early?
