Not proven that he was shot down by one of our own. Most plausible story I have heard is that the Mossie he flew was Canadian built and had different fuel cocks for some reason. Gibson refused to be briefed on the aircraft. That the aircraft suffered fuel starvation seems most plausible. Eye witnesses reported a light in the cockpit, so hardly goes with the story that it was 'blown out of the sky'.

RIP
