Possibly the only claim by a Hampden in WW2. Did Bomber Command credit the crew with a "probable" (in August 1940 would that not have been an "unconfirmed"? or was Gibson "line-shooting"?
On the Gibson claims for Ju87 damaged were there Ju87 in France on the coast at this time? Surely the demands of Africa and Russia would have removed them to other theatres unless these were training aircraft?
A third, and less important point for deliberation is surely that Gibson was without doubt an ace in the making. His claims marry those of JRD Braham's in the same time period.
