[WWI] RFC Morane Saulnier color question

[Rob Stewart]

Hi,

The datafile quotes the exact(?) order on behalf of Trenchard at RFC HQ 
on July 18th 1916 that:

"...it is requested that you will give instructions for all metal parts 
of Morane Bullets to be painted a bright red.

Morane Bullets only should be painted in this manner.

Machines should be painted tomorrow."

FWIW, I like it the way you did it.

It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance 
and a ray of sunshine.
