Has anyone got the definitive answer on the aircraft type involved? It looks like a Diamon Xtreme:

Why did the media, including BBC news, call it a Cessna? Just because it was a light aircraft. On 911 initially they said it was a small aircraft when the pictures clearly showed a larger aircraft. Perhaps there needs to be one TAP (Total Aviation Person) in each of these news organisations.
The Express newspaper not only called the light aircraft a Cessna, but a Luftwaffe Phantom was called a Tornado.
Bet they'd get p***ed off if I called their Jaguar car a Rover, sorry I thought all cars were the same!
