Okay guy's, A few more pieces of the puzzle. I found this remark in the Windsock Datafile Fabric special," The attention of all concerned is directed to the following distinctive marking, which it has been decided shall be adopted for black-winged night flying aeroplanes". Can or will anyone comment on what "blacked-winged" means? Is there any evidence anywhere that suggests that only wings were painted black or the bottoms of wings and fuselage? I know that the RAF painted the undersides of Hurricane's and Spits black during WW2. Here's a popular photo of a F3a Buzzard. I know there is a lot of shadow but could it be possible or is it likely the undersides were painted black? Since the roundel can't be seen on the bottom of the bottom wing I believe the blue and red night roundel was used.
