I thought Gott was killed in a Plane Crash. I don't think he was shot down Tomdidiot 12:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

He was shot down in a targeted German attack made possible by the breaking of the code used in telecommunications from Cairo, which disclosed to the Germans his intended movements. This was an embarrassment to the British authorities, who misreported his death at the time as an accident. The pilot of his plane, Squadron Leader Jimmy James, survived, and gave a lecture at the Travellers Club about the whole episode recently. Chelseaboy 11:01, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
