Default Don't shoot the messenger!

Guys.... you're right with your findings. I hadn't read the entire article through until you mentioned it. Suggestion would be to email the author at Sun Media (her address is at the bottom of the article) plus the Managing Editor and give them your 2 cents worth. Maybe they'll write a retraction. Highly unlikely....but worth an email. Robert

Default 2 cents worth

Yes we should get in touch with the newspaper and point out their mis-information. I wouldn't expect a reply let alone a correction in the next issue of their rag. I get the impression, from out local Sun Media news paper, that they don't give a flying fig about being correct or accurate in their facts.

But I'm not bitter.

Send me an e-mail with the info, I'll send a letter and you send a letter and see what we get in response. Thanks for your efforts.

I wonder if that means the RAF Lancaster might pay a return visit to Canada one day down the road?
