Warneford's 3253:
Normal factory finish (clear-doped fabric, clear-varnished plywood
forward fuselage side panels) except cowling and wheel covers doped
WHITE (A photo of the aircraft taken sometime after the famous Zeppelin
exploit shows the wheel covers painted a dark color - red?) and a
distinctively styled serial number further enhanced with a white drop
shadow. RNAS-applied fuselage roundels with ultramarine outer ring, red
center; French-type wing roundels (red outer ring, light blue center) -
no kidding!
Hope this helps.
