If you read the whole article, some people are doubters and are saying he wasn't familiar with the Mosquito and he ran out of fuel because of his big ego .... sounds rather thin to me . Can you imagine a highly experienced pilot taking off on a mission with less than full tanks. And, why didn't the other 9 mossies on the mission run out of gas. The poor gunner chap admitted doing it and the records and crash co-ordinates proved what happened.
