Hercules write-off
 
Whilst idly flicking through the current bun, as one does, I came across this snippet of information. Any truth behind it?

Sounds like someone at the Sun has got the wrong end of a very long stick, still, not the first time nor the last...:suspect:

Coincidentally I just posted this 'exclusive' on the 'Parliamentary Questions...' thread, wondering what has prompted this.

Hello all,

I'm a civ air but this kind of story annoys me. Anyone have TOM NEWTON DUNN's email address? I think it is time I inform him of a few home truths!

The pics are a trifle small, but there's no sign of fire in that first photo (which I hadn't seen before), as far as I can see. Does that indicate that it wasn't hit in the air, I wonder? Does it support the landmine theory?

The port inner looks feathered already, though.

Come on guys, have you ever heard of the tabloids letting truth and accuracy get in the way of a good story!!
