* Sorry, Prop, but I checked 3.5 sources and came up with nothing (the '.5' is when I checked the score of the Baron's brother, Lothar). There is no Saville among them; there is an SE5a from #1 Squadron RAF, victory #77, but even this particular victory is in dispute (and the Baron, for whatever reason, enclosed the aircraft type in quotation marks in his report; it's been suggested that even he wasn't sure as to the type). This is not to say that no aircraft from #1 ever fell to the Baron...
* What makes identification so difficult in this case is that we don't know "where or when"... is it possible that you could give us more details: what aeroplane did Gramps fly? Where was he stationed? Was he a pilot or an observer? How did he know that it was the Baron?
* Of course, the intrigueing possibility exists, as it always has, that this was one victory that the victor wasn't aware of; this would not be the first time that that happened...
