[b] Long ago Al Lowe had a list of about 24 of BB's claims which were witnessed. (We know, however, that merely having witnesses does not ensure the claimed result.)

Regarding Bishop’s corroborated “kills”, purely by coincidence when surfing for RFC data this morning and prior to seeing this thread (or Forum for that matter), I came across a newspaper article from a few years back.
Michael Hanlon, in the Toronto Star of 30 October 1988, wrote a piece on a new study that had recently been published in a British military magazine. This study redressed the ACE ranking on corroborated kills and it gave Bishop’s corroborated kills as just 13. This placed him as low as 110th among the revised rating of Allied Aces.
