242 Sqn.'s Hurricane's
 

Hi guys, Working out final drawings for a painting. I wish to show 242 Sqn. Hurricanes flown by Bader, McKnight, and Ball, circa Sept. 1940. I have markings for Baders V7467 but I do not have markings for other two. I don't need the serial #s because they will be shown at a distance. I need code letters and color of prop spinner and underside. (black portside underwing? Baders did not) Please remember circa Sept. 1940. thanks Bob

Hello Bob
Camouflage was pretty simple, Dark Green/Dark Earth upper side, bottom Sky, spinner black. Standard roundels Roundel Blue/Dull Red upper side, RB/White/DR bottom, Yellow/RB/W/DR fuselage sides. Fin flash DR/W/RB. On the leading edges, a fabric was applied to cover machine guns' openings, painted with red dope.
Risky points are two camouflage patterns A & B, as well as bright marking colours as applied by Gloster. Good point is that pilots often changed their aircraft, so any code should fit, of course of respective flights.
Cheers
