Hi all, I’m new to this site, so pls bear with me if I’m out of order with this form of request. I am after the ‘livery’ of Norman Brearley’s DH2 when he was shot down over France in November 1916. I’ve already ordered the forthcoming DH2 publication, but I’m also putting together a book and it would be handy if I could obtain the information soon. TIA Richard Perth Australia
This is a perfectly reasonable question, but may be difficult to answer in detail. I can say that the serial number of Brearley’s DH2, on the rudder, was 7928. The livery would be the standard PC10 brown on the fuselage and upper surfaces, sometimes with grey side panels on the fuselage, and unpainted linen which was a pale yellow underneath. The book will give a better idea; likewise an idea of any 29 squadron markings. There may have been a specific identification number; possibly someone else will know this, otherwise it may be necessary to see if the book has a photo of 7928.
