Before restoration the colour of the fabric and metal areas of Guynemer's Spad VII had aged considerably since 1917. Alan has taken that into his calculations as well. Guynemer's S.254 and others in the surrounding series may have been treated similarly we have pleanty of photo evidence showing monotone painted fabric on Spad VII types. See; Spad VII C.1 by Tomasz Gronczewski and Seweryn M. Fleischer, Aviatik Pub. 2004. Alan was a consultant on this as well.
