PBS Secrets of the Dead

Hi!
I was watching the new PBS TV show Secrets of the Dead last night. Retired test pilot RN Capt Eric Brown was interviewed on camera. He claimed to have (unofficially without authorization) flown a fully fueled rocket powered Me 163. I checked his book on his personal test flights of Luftwaffe aircraft, 'Wings of the Luftwaffe' (1977) In it he wrote only of unfueled gliding tests.

Was he pulling our collective legs in this latest interview or was it a confession that he left out something in his 1977 book?

Thanks.
