AIS - what you see is not what you get!

Like Tipcap I occasionally follow offshore activity, but on Flightradar 24.
I have just had a look at Planefinder and to put it mildly it is a farce.

G-FTOM has just departed from Dyce. It is equpped with "2 turboprop engines" and the operator is "Gulf International Airlines" and not as one would hope CHC Scotia

G-LLOV (also CHC Scotia) is inbound to Dyce - operated by "Air Gemini"

Edited for sp.

Edited to add: THe symbols on Planefinder mostly show helicopters with a fixed wing symbol

Bond seem to be shown correctly, with a helicopter symbol & correct operator information.
