The picture is bollocks. The aircraft in the background is a C-130 not a refueling tanker, so it makes me doubt any other information. Additionally how can you prove where and when this picture was taken... the pilot isn't holding a newspaper up for us to see.

Further I believe Charge is right that the UK would not be able to silence the families for 20+ years about this.

Finally, why would they do this?
