Al,
I have just read a passage in "The Air V.c.'s", by Cooksley and in it he writes of an Australian Mechanic when told Bishop had jettisoned his Lewis gun "who was puzzled how this could have been unshipped in flight."
Cooksley then goes on to say that on another flight some claim that Keith "Grid" Caldwell followed Bishop in the belief that he would see some action, but was disappointed, since the later seemed not at all the aggressive flyer he was thought to be, but appeared to be almost avoiding action.
Sorry if these questions have been raised before, but I have had my head in a few books over the last few weeks learning more about the man, the question is, have you heard of these reports, and do you know who the Aussie mechanic is, because if you do I will try to track down his family and see if there is any substance to the claim.
