Poor press coverage
Although there is near-jingoistic fervour in the print media about the deployment of aircraft to Akrotiri, what I find astounding is how basic facts are missed or just plane (sic) wrong. The Torygraph (on line this morning) had two Typhoons labelled as Tornados, a stock picture of an F3 described as a Typhoon and the best was the A400 described as a Typhoon (presumably the turbo prop variant developed in great secrecy....)
And I won't even begin to mention the factual inaccuracies in the Daily Fail...swamped and trolled as it has been by Putinistas.
Somehow, 70 years ago I am sure the grandparents of today's correspondents knew the difference between a Hurricane, a Spitfire and a Bombay....
