Seriously, what is it with newspapers being completely fking useless at getting the simplest facts correct, between this and the sun's infamous inability to value a car or even use the right photograph i swear that children could do it better!

The Mail on the ball as usual. This happened at MAKS 2011 last summer, which is quite obvious if you watch the video. It's also held near Moscow, not in Lithuania as he states in the article. The reporter has obviously just lifted it straight from a recently posted forum thread, since he quotes people from it, without actually bothering to do any fact checking or research of his own.

I love journalists, but I couldn't eat a whole one.
