The Christmas Eve Flight That Ended in Mystery – Mull, 1975

On a cold Christmas Eve in 1975, experienced pilot and former RAF serviceman Peter Gibbs took off in a light aircraft from the Glenforsa Airfield on Scotland’s remote Isle of Mull. The runway was unlit, the skies dark, and no one expected him to fly but he insisted. Minutes later, he disappeared into the night.

What followed is one of Britain’s most baffling aviation mysteries. Four months later, Peter’s body was discovered on a hillside that had already been searched, clean, untouched, and far from any crash site. A year after that, his aircraft was found submerged miles away in the sea… with no sign of how it got there.

In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we explore the strange disappearance and unexplained death of Peter Gibbs, a mystery that has puzzled investigators, spawned theories of foul play, disorientation, and even the paranormal, and continues to haunt the Isle of Mull nearly 50 years on.
