Who killed......?

The final demise of the Red baron has,and will continue, to provoke controversy. But there is an equally fine aviator who met death in mysterious circumstances.....So the question is...Who REALLY killed Cock Robin?
Now populist belief has always maintained that it was the Sparrow with his bow and arrow, and the somewhat hurried initial post mortem seemed to confirm this. Mainly because there was a metal pointy bit sticking out of his back and a feathery thingy sticking out of the front.
Fairly straight forward you might think...But, a recent book throws new doubts on this.
The book, "Who Killed the Red-Breasted Baron" by the esteemed historian, Professor R. E Braindead, Emeritus Professor at the London Institute for the Terminally Stupid states: "I have collected many eye witness reports of the incident in question, and I now believe that at the time of death, Squadron Leader Cock Robin was actually flying inverted, halfway through an Immelmann turn, when he was hit by a crossbow bolt fired by a Canada Goose diving out of the sun"
Provocative stuff eh!!... If anyone has any information, (photo's, memorabilia, etc.) that might help confirm this, please contact me at:

You would be helping me complete my thesis on "Why WWI aviation buffs are all slightly nuts!!"
Thanking you in anticipation.

Paul, I have some compelling evidence that Cock Robin was involved in a capitalist plot against the righteous might of the Communist Party. The autopsy report, brief as it is, seems to indicate that someone rigged his guns to shoot backwards. Naturally, at the first shot at his opponent, he unwittingly blew himself away.

I have come into possession of a wad of used chewing gum bearing the Baron's teeth marks and the impression "MvR -5/17". There are also some traces of red paint and threads. This is obviously a collectors item...something the Baron himself actually used (really, truly, I wouldn't lie to you) to patch up a bullet hole in his triplane.
I'll set a price on this as soon as I've finished unloading some beachfront property outside of Boise.

I'll buy it!!
I'll put it next to my prized possession...A set of badly stained underwear, said to belong to Louis Strange after he almost fell out of the cockpit of his aircraft whilst reloading his Lewis gun!!!

No, I'll buy it and place it next to the bullet proof helmet that Lanoe Hawker said messed up his hair.

But can blue men sing the whites?

Especially while hunting tigers out in India?

(Out in, out in, out in India - Yah!)
