Yes, Gibbes flew Black 6, and as he commented after her prang, he had always landed proper end up. The aircraft is currently restored and exhibited at RAFM Hendon and fortunatelly will not fly again.
Oh, and the discussion is slightly senseless. Gibbes flew in Africa, so everything he could entertain was sand and some dirty goats. Fighter pilot in England - oh, that was life!
