Gibbes was one of Australia’s best-known fighter aces, having previously commanded No. 3 Squadron RAAF in the Western Desert before serving in the South West Pacific, and was officially credited with 10¼ aerial victories, five aircraft probably destroyed, and a further 16 damaged. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and the Distinguished Flying Cross and Bar.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA58-602 was coded RG-V for Gibbes and carried the distinctive “Grey Nurse” shark-mouth markings associated with No. 457 Squadron’s Spitfires in the South West Pacific.
