Cheers for your update as to source  :thumbsup:

No that's fine Chris: I understood where you were coming from. I actually saw the PPrune comments and RAF statement copied on Twitter("X" :rolleyes: ) at first, but then went back to check them at source after you'd posted.

We've had a slew of examples recently of incorrect stories gaining "legs" then being corrected, mistakes getting amplified, and straight-up biased reporting from both the mainstream and the alternative media.

And it seems the corrections are usually labelled as 'inaccurate', or 'Spin to try to mask the TRUTH!'... :banghead:
