That article then goes on to say that they have no Idea if the Young WO was flying or was a passenger.

So we now have on one thread, claims it was an Osprey, a Blackhawk, or a Chinook. How many families, and wives and kids have kacked their pants for no reason at all, other than the worst of the worst in Journalism and a need to be first one on with the info?

This is a very touchy subject for me. I know a woman who after a mid air was told her husband had survived and was OK, next door but 5 was told her husband had died. 30 mins later the staish arrived to tell them they had screwed up, they got it the wrong way around!!

A rumour network is cool, until someone dies, at that point it is better to be the last to post with the info than the first.

Hopefully there will be an official release soon.
