Who shot down the Red Baron?

[Soundbreaker Welch?]

I dunno, I still wonder if Brown deserves some credit. he might have put a couple of good holes in the Barons plane.

Australian old chap all three canidates for firing the fatal ground shot are from OZ.

While were on the subject it would seem most likely that the shot came from ground fire even if you take the numerical probability factor of Several Lewis and Vickers Machine guns firing from a stationary position versus two Lewis Machine guns firing from a radically weaving platform.

From conversations i have had in recent years and from the few doco's available on the subject i beleive as most of my countrymen do that the baron was dropped by an Australian gunner most likely popkin. Good idea for a thread though.
