The fact they’re in a wedge formation should have given it away. No air force uses that sort of non-tactical formation for anything other than display purposes.
BBC has been caught on this a few times lately I think. I wish we could trust them more than we really can on this sort of level They likely knew what they where doing when they did it. Needed a good shot of planes, don’t have one? ‘Here chuck this one in from recent archives know one will notice’. It’s just lazy and an embarrassment to journalism.
To be fair most news shows use stock footage like this
Which is why they’ve started posting everything isnt verified
Weirdly they pointed out that this exact footage wasn’t from now in their fact check article a few days ago
That’s because the BBC is fucking garbage. I cancelled my tv licence 4 years ago and haven’t looked back since.
