It's OK, just the media getting it wrong (again). During the BBC reporting of the flypast during the Trafalgar "celebrations", the commentator described the VC10 as a "Maritime Patrol Aircraft".
Situation normal, really.

Couldn't have been any worse than the Sky News coverage (only news channel I had available at the time); I had to turn it over in the end. When the Sukhoi team arrived they were described as Hurricanes, and so it went on...!

Don´t be silly, they´re flown by the army....
The Independent: Army flies in extra police for the battle of Gleneagles
Thousands of protesters clashed with police outside Gleneagles as they tried to storm the grounds where leaders of the world's richest nations were meeting, amid the largest security operation ever staged in Britain.
Police flew in reinforcements in Chinook helicopters as anti-capitalist activists, some waving flags, others dressed as clowns, broke through the perimeter fence that protects the G8 conference site yesterday. It is the first time military helicopters have been deployed by police against civilians on the British mainland........

Technically Correct
Well, That is technically correct...
The RAF just fly them, the Army control the Wokka's...
Not that the media types know, understand or give a monkeys..

I can't see what all the fuss is about a Royal Marine being able to fly a Chinook, as he's not the first!
We had one in the 1980s, who was also an A2 QHI on them, who is currently employed with the Chinook simulator; just because he changed uniform doesn't change the man!
Once a Marine - Always a Marine.
