Galland vs Bader
Many years ago I spoke to some 'linies' at Cranwell who had the 'pleasure' of refuelling Bader's civilian aircraft in the 70's; lets just say that he was not on their Xmas card list from that day onwards.
Absolutely charming when the situation required but could be a right **** particuarly to those of lower 'rank' . .

The Channel 4 program was good, it does seem quite conclusive that Bader was shot down by "friendly fire".
My dad was no fan of the man as Bader put him on a charge for not wearing his cap despite the fact that Dad was up to his neck in a Hurricane at the time.
