ITV.com and Wellington Memorial

I see that the T.V giants with all their millions cannot even do some basic Airplane identification.

And of course it is well known that an image of a Lancaster is acceptable to represent any allied bomber in Joe publics eyes!

this time it may not be the journalists to blame. Under the photo is the following:

And clicking on the link to the Memorial Appeals Facebook page shows this is indeed the source of the photo. Not everybody is a ‘plane geek and it is natural to assume that a photo of a ‘plane on a page dedicated to it would be the same sort!
