I'm from Australia, and a lot of people here say "an historic", pronouncing the "h". I don't understand this, since I was taught from an early age that "an" should only be used before words beginning with a vowel sound.
So, I did a Google search for confirmation, and you're definitely not supposed to say "an" if you pronounce the "h". The people who do are doing it wrong.
Do you say 'a' or 'an' historic?

It's the same thing I was taught ("An" is used for words which start with a vowel)
