I see that the T.V giants with all their millions cannot even do some basic Airplane identification.

And of course it is well known that an image of a Lancaster is acceptable to represent any allied bomber in Joe publics eyes!

And clicking on the link to the Memorial Appeals Facebook page shows this is indeed the source of the photo. Not everybody is a 'plane geek and it is natural to assume that a photo of a 'plane on a page dedicated to it would be the same sort!
