I found this page on Lionel Hicks:

Driscoles - how do you know about him?

It looks to me as if the roundel's outer ring is lighter than the centre, in other words
outer ring = red,
centre = blue
Have you considered that it might be French ?

I noticed that, too. But I don't think the French used that type of plane. I think it is more likely that the outer ring is light blue, and the inner dark red. The inner ring looks darker than the outer on loads of photos of British planes from the Great War.

That's just the film emulsion & it's interaction with red & blue colours. RAF roundels usually do look reversed on early B & W films. A bit of background here  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panchromatic_film

@ von Lucky.
Iam very much interested in ww1 not particular aereal combat but the posted picture captured my attention so I googled Fe2b and old pics and found lots and I found Captain Hicks. There are some similarities!

Oh - that makes more sense. I thought you were a Captain Hicks fan before this thread was started. I just found that to be incredibly niche!
