Clarification

Air Force News wishes to clarify some facts in the story titled “Striking the pose”, published on October 6 on page 24.

Flight Lieutenant Rachel Pyle is quoted as referring to body fat as “blubber”.

Air Force News accepts that she did not use this term.

Flight Lieutenant Pyle’s weight loss was 13kg, not 20kg as may be inferred by the article.

Air Force News unreservedly apologises for any embarrassment and hurt to Flight Lieutenant Pyle and her husband that may have occurred as a result.
