Why do people get so wound up about it? Shock horror. Lazy journalism. Obvious lazy journalism but by no means as bad as the many other transgressions of British newspapers over the years.
It amazes me that someone would bother starting a thread and clogging up the forum about such a thing. And then there’s me bothering to reply!
Seriously. Let’s just have one thread for the ultra smart amongst us who are able to spot mistakes in the mail, express etc.
I’m happy to start it.

Today’s front page of the Daily Telegraph…beautiful Richard Paver photograph of the cammo Typhoon in close formation with Hurricane LF363….
Captioned…Spitfire and Typhoon in Battle of Britain tribute.
Doh……faceplant.
Come on, weren´t ALL British fighters in WW II Spitfires? If you ask any non- Warbird related person, they´d say Spitfire 99.9 out of 100. Same with Messerschmitts. All piston engined German fighters were 109´s. Congratulate Massmedia, printed, TV or otherwise. “Journalists” who haven´t the slightest idea what they are writing about, getting even worse on Internet. Ok, I´ll stop, or I will get seriously agitated. 😉

No, just a party political flyer that someone has the nerve to charge money for. Nothing to do with journalism or newspapers.

They also failed to mention that it was a ‘Spitfire fighter jet’ 🙂

The online version
calls LF363 a Hurricane, but does say elsewhere that the Typhoon will fly in displays with a Spitfire.
