Greetings Kofoed;
In correspondence from Alex Revell he states that Grinnell-Milne talked about this. He says that during the war he was limited to the area where the red could be applied. Drome member RAGIII has also discussed this with Alex Revell. Though the white outer ring of the fuselage cockade is missing, it was mostly PC10 at least during the war. The nose to on extent or the other was red. Probably just the radiator at first then back to th plywood ending. The post war the whole fuselage.
