Unfortunately I recorded the wrong channel, due to being distracted by an elderly neighbour who needed some assistance with their garden. Akin to being blown over enemy lines with a following wind!

The last 5 minutes showed a film team firing lasers at a low flying aircraft(which looked like a Robin or Jodel), from different known positions of the ground gunners.

Last summing up statement seemed to be indicating that "Snowy" Evans was most likely as the gunner who shot him down. This is in contradiction to the earlier findings of Alan Bennet/Norman Franks in their book: "The Red Barons Last Flight", where they state it is most likely to have been Popkins.

I know, I know, we will never know for sure. Maybe someone else can comment who saw the entire programme?
