Ironic yes, surprising ? No. Too many of the younger generation today have no idea of the concept of 'Need to Know' that most of us had drummed into us and see the FOI act, which basically says everything can be released, unless there are good reasons not to, as carte blanche for them to blab their mouth off on their Faceache, Instafart & Twatter feeds without thinking of the potential consequences or the fact that the FOI rules & guidance do actually specify the correct vetting mechanisms and processes that should be used before anything is released and don't give free rein to everyone.

Photo taker has been arrested/charged, hate think what’s going to happen if anyone is ever found at fault.

From a Yank geeky >> aviation magazine << ...

On that occasion, the pilot of the Royal Air Force (RAF) F-35B was forced to eject after a rain cover not lifted was sucked into the stealth plane during takeoff from the aircraft carrier. The F-35B wreckage was recovered from the depths of the Mediterranean on Dec. 7.
