I wrote this afternoon to The Independent, pointing out that the 'Cessna' they had written about was a Super Dimona and the machine shadowing it from above an F-4 Phantom (not a Tornado, as their photo caption suggested).

Perhaps my pointing out that the Dimona weighs half as much as a car—and could never carry the tonnes of explosives loaded into road vehicles and used routinely in terrorist horrors all around the world—will appear in print and give non-fliers some food for thought.

Perhaps not!
