AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST
WORLD WAR ERA
No.35 Sqn RFC/RAF
No.35 Sqn was the first to use the FK8 in the field. Their unit marking
was a horizontal stripe along the middle of the fuselage. These were ordered
removed on 22 March 1918 along with those carried by other two-seater
unit.
In addition to the FK8, they also operated some Bristol F2b Fighters.

Bristol F2b. This was later to become the standard for all FK8s.
