Most of us have been 'victims' of mis-reporting by the press. There is no point whinging here about it; the only solution is to boycott the subject papers.

Keep going Jacko
Good points well scored, but we all do well to remember the highly sensitive emotions involved at this time.
You do your profession great credit and I confess you have made me think and temper my..., well, temper, on many occasions when too many of your colleagues have frayed us around the edges.
Like the delicious un pc bit too !

Lets not forget it isn't only those from the papers at fault.
During the Kosovo "campaign" on board invincible had camera crew from Sky on board my aircraft taking film of SHAR launches.
Cameraman on comms sitting in back door.
"wouldn't it be great if one crashed off the ski ramp into the sea..... then I would get loads more money for my film"
Greated by silence followed by member of crew "accidently" knocking big black camera bag out of back door into the oggin.
course wings didn't find it amusing.
Never trusted them... never will.

Ploce Death Camp August 1995; it was the day of the Service to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII.
I was attached to 24Bde and employed, with 2 other TG9 JNCO's in the Air Cell tasking the aircraft of 3 Regt AAC from the Bde HQ building. On this day the watchkeeper received a call from ATC informing him that there were reports of a Lynx crash in the Adriatic just off the coast. Fully loaded with 2 crew and 3 pax and no reported survivors so far. Sh!t hits the fan and off we all go to start piecing the sequence of events together; callsign, POB, Crew and pax names etc.
We were all very mindful that there were still a large number of journo's still kicking around after the mornings' church service and wished to keep all information in house until we were all better informed.
Sadly events like this are hard to keep a lid on in such close confines and although the press were requested to keep schtum until we had a clearer picture, a notable female war hungry reporter chose instead to opt for the scoop.
She was caught hidden amongst a collection of 4 tonners in the Bde HQ car park making a call to her editor back in the UK on her Sat phone. What she didn't realise was that the vehicles all belonged to the Sigs and they caught her before she did any damage - thank God.
Bitch!

Nice to see the sun is offering more speculation regarding the herc crash. They can't even decide what model herc to use in their animation of what they think happened. If you haven't seen the pictures yet just try and imagine a shorty K with J wings, nothing like accurate reporting.
I wonder who they got the info from, crossbow or JN? Both highly skilled in talking from the hole in the region of the gluteus (for the reference of the afore mentioned that is your AR$E).
