You've missed one. Any helicopter with a rotor at each end is a Chinook.
Especially if it only has three wheels and fuel tanks only reach along a third of the fuselage.

A journalists guide who's command of English poor ! One Identifies one's self, but recognizes something.
Or am I wrong as most newspaper aircraft related reports are ? Cheer for the good smile.

Yes that one always amuses me too, especially when you consider they are only the fourth biggest type operating from their own home base at Brize.
The other one is any bit of concrete at an airport being described as *the runway*, as in *the plane was detained on the runway for three hours while the unidentified bag was offloaded*. That would go down well at Heathrow.
