Hello Mark, That is interesting and falsifies my theory about the loss of the S.75. I would say that there is still very strong evidence that the aircraft carrying Thomas was shot down by the Beaufighter crew, as discussed above. It would be interesting to look at Allied and Axis naval documents to try and determine what kind of naval gunfire would have been observed by the 255 Squadron crew, but that would be a big task, of course. Theoretically, they could have observed a surface engagement. Regards, Dan
