My ex father in law was a navigator for the Pathfinder squadron and flew with Gibson as Navigator on a number of missions. He told me emphatically, in the 1980's that Gibson was brought down by friendly fire, and that it was a well known fact within the squadron.

Gibson
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.
