just two thoughts and a PS. 😉
It’s not funny to think that due to the risk of litigation they’ll make sure they get their facts about ‘Hello!’ level celebrities correct while real news is treated this shoddily as it’s ‘specialist interest’. Call me old fashioned but history is important, and plastic people for new-stand bumph aren’t.
I appreciate the comments, Neil & Ren, but by your own statements organisations such as the BBC are hastening their own demise by failing to adhere to Reith’s standards.
Bluntly, if you can’t get your facts right, then shut up.

Secondly the real tribute that we know of should be to all those who’ve put so many Spitfire back into the air, so long after their sell by date. With all due respect to the pilots, a pilot’s easy to find if you have an interesting aircraft. It’s much harder to find the qualified capable builders and volunteers to put those aircraft back in the air. Thank you all.
My comments were not necesarily in defence of the BBC, I was just pointing out the way it is. The facts they give about Hello level celebs, are they true or do we believe them coz WE don’t really know what the truth is. The same goes for Joe Public and his family. We know the facts true facts about Spitfires. Do they, no, do they care, probably not.
As for Bluntly, if you can’t get your facts right then shut up.
My name is spelt Neal not Neil. James thats only a joke and is purely tongue in cheek, please don’t call for my hanging :diablo: 😀
Anyway, I am an historic aircraft enthusiast. I know a bit but I’m always willing to learn more but I don’t rely on tv news coverage.
