Just watching a Channel Seven news item about a Queensland Spitfire pilot who has just turned 100. What did they show to accompany the segment? Film of a Hurricane!!! Wouldn't you think they would get THAT right? I guess at least it wasn't a Cessna!!!!

I watched that, where did you see the Hurri? I saw a bit of a frame in a photo with him sitting a cockpit...You must be watching a different Channel 7

Does it matter, 99.9% of the population wouldn't be able to tell the difference I'm just happy to see someone who has put his life on the line (for our freedom to sit and write on our computers whatever crap we think is important) get some recognition for what he has done.

Spitfires only did part of the job in Britain. The main worker was the Hurricane. Pilots who flew in the pacific mightn't have been near any Hurricanes. Nev

I just happen to think that it is important for the media to get their facts right. I also happen to think that they should be able to spell and to string together a grammatically correct sentence.

Totally agree Nev. Still believe they should check their facts. Easy enough with Google!

Isn't that the truth. There's a whole lot of beaut stuff on historic aircraft complete with the correct noises just for the looking. Nev

I have never seen them mis-spell "Cessna".
