War on Iraq 2003: Rooftop Sheraton Hotel Kuwait City Group Captain Jon Fynes British spokesman - a nice man - gets ready to explain how an RAF aircraft was mistaken for an Iraqi plane and 'accidentally' shot down by the Americans in the coalition no fly zone. The crew died. By this time the Iraqi's didn't have an airforce or much in the way of runways for that matter. John Stapleton's first question went straight under the Group Captain's radar as he was gracious enough to admit later. The UK's breakfast television news team in Kuwait (GMTV) - just three strong - always punched above its weight. Picture also shows Tony Scott. Better mention him. Apart from being a top guy it was his camera!
