The oopsy-daisy Fleet Air Arm sequence reminds me that you can set your calendar by the regularity with which Facebook Experts (!) insist The British Taught Us How To Fly Corsairs.

Well, actually, no the British did not. The USN was operating F4Us off carriers long before the FAA, both in training and in combat. A couple of us have repeatedly provided contrary proof, not that it matters. It's REALLY hard to compete with "I saw it on the internet."

Taking away absolutely nothing from our Royal Nivey allies...
