Sad decline in standards at the Daily Express. Here is a paper which once seemed never to have left the Second World War period, but which now employs writers (or sub-editors) who don’t have its essential facts and figures at their fingertips. Above is a screengrab from a preview article for a TV programme which appeared over the Christmas period, under the byline of one Adam Edwards. One problem, Mr Edwards – the RAF never had a 633 Squadron. The number was used for a fictional squadron, in a film of the same name, which was made in 1964… Perhaps you got the music muddled up?

Well said.
I actually sent a letter to the “Daily Express” pointing this out but they never published it. Do good newspapers not have an obligation to admit when they have made a mistake?
I must admit that when I come back to Blighty for my annual circuit around the surviving family members, I find things going from bad to worse.
I do so hope that no-one takes offence at my recent blog entry on Sir Barnes Wallis and the ‘Upkeep’ mine? I tried to keep things as accurate as I could.
