Ah Gentlemen I have the solution.The whole event was incorrectly reported by Mel Gibsons war corespondent grandfather.
Later editions of the Daily sketch have the following corrected caption-
"Four German flyers captured sneaking around British repair hanger"
Due to shortages of parts in the German airforce a new strategy of 'grab what you can boys' was thwarted by British groundcrew.It was reported that the haul included a new Blue cowling for a Mr Voss....
Major Ginger has been informed of the incident.
