If the Swift was black, it was probably the one used in landing trials at Heathrow when I was a lad, playing football in my school field. It did several approaches and it was some years later that I learned it was being used to research the effects of snow and slush on runways, as a result of the Munich Ambassador crash. As I recall, the fights took place in the summer, so presumably ice and snow was imported? :confused:
