Under Walter Owen Bentley’s tactical team management, Birkins role was to draw the Mercedes of Carraciola and Werner into a high speed duel, which he successfully acheived. The Blower lead from the start, swapping the lead with the Mercedes throughout the night, until eventually the German car withdrew with a blown engine. Birkin’s success came at a cost, as he had to retire after 20 hours with a bent valve, leaving the two Speed 6’s to take 1st and 2nd Places.
Still in service at the outbreak of WWII, the Gladiator proved to be a capable biplane fighter, but was outclasses against modern monoplane opposition. The mount of some of the RAF’s most famous pilots, such as Pat Pattle and Roald Dahl, preserved Gladiators cab still be seen flying today at Duxford and Old Warden air displays.
