Re: Mosquito shot down by RAF MUstang 9 April 1945
Re: the Mosquito. One of the sites referred to in the previous thread states that on 29 March '45 the French Mustangs covered a 22-mile stretch of the Rhine between Karlsruhe and Speer (must be Speyer, precisely the right distance away).
Barely more than a week later, Moore claimed to have been shot down by French Mustangs, only around 25 miles from Speyer, deeper inside Germany.
If Moore had claimed to have seen FFAF Mustangs over Flensburg or some place similar, it would be a different matter. However, as he claimed to have seen them in an area where it can be demonstrated they were operating at the time, it's not a leap of faith to assume he's correct.
