In Wojtek's first photo, the bomb carriers are holding a supply box and an "M" Type dinghy. At the rear of the aircraft are four smoke markers. I have a photo showing the left side of the aircraft

Here are the standard colour scheme patterns, from the 4+ Publications book.

There's a photo in the Warpaint book showing an overhead view of four Lysanders, V9606, V9499, V9350 and V9278. All have the same pattern on the wing tops with slight variations, but no difference with odd or even serial numbers as with Hurricanes and Spitfires.

According to the Warpaint book no.48 the plane was of the Dark Green/ Extra Dark Sea Grey with Sky undersides. The profile of her port side with the layout camo spots is close to the A type camo. I would follow that pattern for the wing tops.

Use of those colours would seem unusual then but I don't know much about Lizzies.

 

[Jeerryy77]

Its not the same. Read this in left side . What you think Guys? ? Any idea? Who decide whst pwint aircraft?

Colours possibly correct for ASR duties.

Also the code letters should be of the red rather.
