Case No 115 · UFO Afrinews No 16, July 1997
Correction: Ian McPhee and the Kitwe transmitter
Kitwe TV transmitter, Lusaka (Twin Palms transmitter), Zambia
What was reported
A correction to Case 115 in issue 13, an article by Henk van der Linden that placed Ian McPhee at the Kitwe TV transmitter and mast installation. Through Harare reader Brian Legg, McPhee says the article is wrong about his presence: he was never involved with the Kitwe installation, being based in Lusaka at the main studios and later at the Twin Palms transmitter, and only visited the Kitwe station years after it was built. He met van der Linden while working at Twin Palms. The editors believe the error was unintentional, since it all happened long ago and one person can be mistaken for another.
What Hind made of it
Accepts the correction and attributes the error to the passage of time rather than intent.
In their words
-
The article is incorrect, as for me being present. At no time was I involved with the Kitwe TV transmitter/mast installation.
-
We feel sure this was not an intentional error on van der Linden's part.
