Description
On Christmas Eve 1975, former Spitfire pilot Peter Gibbs took off from the unlit airfield on the Isle of Mull and never returned.
It was a moonless night and having just finished dinner with his girlfriend at the Glenforsa Hotel, it seemed a bizarre and impetuous act.
Then Gibbs' body was discovered on a hillside, but the plane was nowhere to be seen and the story began to get stranger.

Producer: Sarah Bowen.
