I've just clicked on Jay Sata's link to a Telegraph on-line article. The article is dated 9th January, and the secondary headline reads:
The British adventurer recreating a historic 13,000 mile solo flight from the UK to Australia has landed in Sydney, saying: 'I need a drink'
Is it not fair to suggest that most, if not all, reasonable people reading that headline today would infer - just as on the day the article first appeared - that Ms Curtis-Taylor, in "recreating a... solo flight...", must have herself flown solo?
Newspapers containing misleading news used to be binned within a few days, but this article lives on in cyberspace. How can our meagre efforts on PPRuNe to set the record straight compete with mass media?
