Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo of a Sopwith 1A2 No.4209 in the attractive markings of Escadrille SOP 214

Re: Photo Sopwith

Hi Clint. Non-standard but not unusual (SOP250 had a few similar), the early schemes were simpler than the later 4/5 colour probably just green / light or dark brown patches on the unpainted fabric. Looks like 3-colour.

On the subject of identification these colour Escadrille emblems may be of help in the future.....
