Hi Ed
Sorry to say we all see stuff like this on TV down here in the states it generally is the history channel that doesn't have a clue about correct images, wife won't watch any thing about WWII, Korea, etc with me unless I promise not to keep pointing out the equipment errors, or that the gun camera images in a program about Korea are actually of a ME109.
Hope you offered CTV your services as a "well paid" historical equipment expert, charge them say $200 per correct image identification.
PS how did you happen to have your camera at hand to catch the image?
Cheers Phil
