Once again unfounded and inaccurate information is posted.

Someone has died, can we have some respect for their family and friends and WAIT for a formal statement to be made before giving spurious information on a public forum.

Sky News immediately put this photograph up on their web page

http://news.sky.com/sky-news/content...Week3/15610562

with this " It is not known what type of aircraft the pilot was flying" in very small font. I initially read about the crash on my iphone browser and didn't even see the small print.

At first glance it made it appear that G-JURG, a Rockwell Commander 114A had crashed I don't believe that this disclaimer is good enough as first impressions do count.

RIP to the pilot and condolences to his or her family and friends.
