...and here my previous picture of the Nieuport 24 bis "Diana".

Picture suggest that on left side is painted Dragon with sash now I think there is no doubt that is only Dragon.

Interesting is, that elevator is red-white painted only from underside NOT from the top!

Best regards,

Piotr

I can tend to agree with you. The red & white elvators were definately on the undersurface (at one point in time). Whether they were added later is shear conjecture. This is just one of several examples of Russian aircraft with dual personal markings.

Thanks Piotr for the great images!
