The English translations from PRO of these and the other copies is what I have a problem with.
Peter Kilduff. He was influenced by the change of opinions of A.E.Ferko and Alex Imrie that stemed from an article in the Windsock by Ray Rimell. Prior to that every one believed that the all red Fok.DR.I at Lechelle was 477/17. The problem is there is no way that you can get 425/17 to Lechelle from available records. To paraphase the song, Wishing won't make it so. gerntlemen, We are going around in circles.

Dan-San,
Where do you place 425/17 whilst MvR is at LeChelle then if you think he wouldn't have this all-red aircraft with him, and please don't insult our intelligence by saying that there is no evidence that it was all red prior to the 20th of April.
I am certain you are the wishful thinker in this debate as we have the photo of 477/17 painted in the scheme MvR describes. I have seen you dismiss evidence before by claiming it to be fake to suit your needs. You were very keen to promote Peter Kilduff when it suited you, his research was beyond doubt until you found out that he had correctly reviewed it.
