Was it the Navy. They apparently to have won the Battle of Britain after all, so maybe they downed DB too...

Never thought of it like that Dave, but now you've mentioned it I am beginning to wonder whether their findings are going to be very different to what we have all been led to believe.
If so, I can only assume that there may be questions regarding their findings and, at the end of the day, some may even continue to accept Baders' version as being the right one regardless of what the experts conclusion is or are!! :think:
