From 'Britsh Aviation Squadron Markings', 40 Sqn's FE8s carried no sqn markings, used coloured wheel covers for Flt markings (A - red, B - white, C - blue) and individual numbers 1 to 6 per flight ahead of the cockpit on the nacelle (A - red outlined white, B - white, C - blue outlined white). There is a photo of 7624 apparently taken no later than 9 Nov 16 which appears to show the nacelle painted PC10.
