Nivo
I also just found this from another previous thread. The F.E.2B and 2D used for night bombers were painted matt black on the undersides of the wing, tailplane, fuselage and sides of the fuselage and rudder. The white ring of the under wing cockades were painted matt black as were all struts and wheel covers. The upper surface of the wings,tailplane and fuselage were painted P.C.10 with standard cockades on the upper surface of the top wing. I don't think the HP O/100 and O/400 machines were painted black, I believe they were painted with NIVO, (Night Invisible Varnish Overall?) defined in one source as "dark slate green" overall. On HP O/100 standard roundels were used on both sides of the upper wing, fuselage and red-white-blue stripes of both rudders. With the HP O/400 the standard roundels of smaller size were used in the same positions. The rudder stripes were about half the height of the rudder and were contained in a square of three equal width stripes, red aft with and blue forward.
