According to an article by Andy Saunders in "After the Battle" magazine, a forthcoming book by Dilip Sarkar and a recent documentary on British TV, Bader is more likely to have been shot down by one his own people who reported blowing the tail off a 109 and the pilot baling out.
The only 109 lost by JG 26 that day has been excavated and it still had its tail. Its loss closely corresponds with another RAF pilot's combat report.
