Reading the book, "The Martinsyde File" by Ray Sanger and found that the Martinsyde F.3, B1494, was " delivered 5.18, in night flying markings". This was one of four F.3's used for Home Defense. I have also been reading the Windsock Datafile Fabric Special No2, and it describes Orfordness's efforts to find a good night flying camo. which was called Nivo or otherwise was black. Is it possible that B1494 was delivered in this finish or were just the roundels and other markings done in "night flying" colors? Thanks for your consideration.
