Hardly surprising. The Sun is a scummy rag. Labeling it a Sea Harrier was probably tactical dumbing down for their wider audience anyway. But this is a newspaper who hired a so called military expert on the buildup to Telic saying the navy would probably call upon the services of their Jaguar force :Oops:

Accuracy of reporting can be quite interesting at times.

One of our local papers, whose area includes RNAS Culdrose, reported about a recent deployment of Sea Kings on HMS Ark Royal with a very nice picture of the previous ship!
