Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 This guy (author of said article) should work for the AAIB: http://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway_messenger/news/pilot-has-lucky-escape-5130/ I'll just let any budding pilot/aviation ethusiasts find some (very) basic flaws in the report. This report was first pointed out to me by the wingmen over on the FLYER forum. This is why what I call "instant journalism" should be banned. I love the conclusion also: "Mr Carr didn't want to comment further on the incident until a thorough investigation had been completed. " Maybe the author needs to take a hint!

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Journalists are just thick idiots for the most part. I remember when a certain female presenter (Anna Ford) left the TV-AM station under a cloud after it folded, Journos staked out her flat in Brentford , West London and later reported that "Rather than talk to Journalists , "She had roared off in an expensive Italian Sports car!" Come the lunchtime TV news and se was quite clearly seen waving from a rather battered Citroen GS saloon that she pulled away very slowly in to avoid running over the journalists standing in front of her! Hardly a Ferrari is it! (though they were good cars in their day!) https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Citroen+GS+photos&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=ZzYaUpv-MOKL0AXJx4DICQ&ved=0CC0QsAQ&biw=1024&bih=643 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,315 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I would think there is a big difference between a journalist and a reporter. One reads or writes the news and one actually makes sure it is correct. Link to post Share on other sites
