Red spinners were applied to 306 Sqn Mustangs, so I doubt if any other Squadron had such markings as well. I am wondering, was not 19 Sqn supposed to have white-blue spinners instead? Ah, 316 Sqn (white-red) was never at Peterhead!

No,the light blue and white colours were peacetime colours for 19 Sqn.They were in fact applied when the squadron moved to Molesworth post-war.Colours used at Peterhead were Wingbased markings.
