Ermm, actually it does have a thermostat.  Simply tested by wiggling the 
knob while the oven is cold and observing that the flame size doesn't 
change.

If it didn't have a thermostat then to set the temperature at eg 200 degrees 
(I don't know what gas mark that is) the flame size would be so small it 
would take 10 hours to get to anywhere near 200 degrees.
