Blue on Blue Incident?

Starting @ 1:10, looks like a Mosquito under attack by USAAF fighter. no date listed, although start of the video indicates Sept-Oct '44 timeframe. Any info on this?

Looks like an Eighth AF PR Mosquito, NS533 was shot down by a P-51 (357FG) in August as noted here...

Just saw the same clip on REDDIT, it says NS522 (140 RAF) shot down by P-51s from 4FG/ 335FS on 6 Oct. nr. Helgoland; they were Withdrawal Support to a Berlin mission. They claimed an "Me410".
Another from 140 Sqn. (NS523) was shot down on 2 Oct. by a Ninth AF P-47 nr. Louvain.
