Two views of E5431 painted in the experimental camouflage scheme mentioned in the text; this formed the subject of an official description in Confidential Information Memorandum No 733 dated 3 September 1918. Four colours were used; Dark Purple Earth, Green, Light Green-Grey and Light Earth; and the outline of each area was picked out by a black line varying in width from 2 in to 4 in (51 mm to 102 mm). The upper-wing roundels were of different diameters, presumably to confuse the aim of attacking aircraft.
