The 'Daily Fail' strikes again...

A spokesperson for the RAF said: 'To be clear this superb photograph was of the Red Arrows synchro pair, who complete manoeuvres such as this safely and professionally on a daily basis.’

Agree 100%.
When I read that, "terrifying moment" I lost interest.
Funny thing is, they try to make a "Oooohhhh" story out of the picture but in reality they missed a real
"Oooohhhh" story of the Red Arrows at the show, with holes and missing schools and all !!! LOL

No two ways about it. I'd go so far as to say it is one of the best photos I've seen of the Red Arrows.
But it's just another example of the DM trying to make something OohAah
or a drama out of nothing.
Personally, I would have gone with a heading like the following which
would probably pull in just as many readers.
"What Skill"
"The best of British and has been for 50 years"
"How close can you get ?"

Unfortunately, this dreadful excuse for a newspaper thrives on looking for the worst (and if they can't find it, just make it up) in any given situation to provide them with their sensationalist headlines...

Fair do's to the DM, though: it did manage to use "moment" 5 times before the first photo. Always a sign of quality journalism.
