Barker's F.1 B6313

Greetings all;

In some of my notes on this machine I have it that it had a green vertical fin in Sept.1918. Can anyone confirm this with the original soure reference?

There's also http://worldatwar.net/chandelle/v1/v1n1/barker.htm

which also suggests the fin wasn't green at any time.
