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..... https://www.traditions-air.fr/unit/photo/classeurvi.htm Nick |

Re: Photo Sopwith
Hi Nick,
Thanks for the reply. Yes the site you link to is very useful for unit markings and is usually my first call.It's a great starting point but only has one unit emblem per unit so doesn't pick up on units with changing emblems eg SOP 214 a couple of posts down in this thread or perhaps the Nieuport on the French Photo Album thread. Still life would be much harder wothout the work the site owner has done.Hat tip Regards, Clint |
