Bob Grundy Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Just after 5pm today on the PM news programme there was this regarding the dropping of poppy leaves. It said the aircraft was a Second World War biplane bomber. a MK1 the actual words were Em Kay One. This shows a lamentable standard of newscript and presentation. Through our BBC Licence fee we pay for this, it is just not good enough.... As we all know, or should know, they were referring to a Swordfish Mk1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Yes I heard that Bob made me cringe whilst was stuck in jam from a day at the Tank Museum. (Ironcally when I got near Ringwood I saw the problem was a broken down tank transporter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
