I must be naive, but for many years I actually believed what I read on the BBC website to be (vaguely) true!? I'm not sure which is worse: not being able to transcribe the Afrikaans accented pilot, or writing an aviation article without knowing the difference between wind-shear and windshield.

The longer (text) article is even more incomprehensible: St Helena airport delayed due to danger of high winds - BBC News
However, the National Audit Office said the delay - due to high winds on the remote island - could add to the cost.
