Se5 Markings Query

[Maxim08]

A friend asked if I could answer his marking question which I couldn't, but I am sure that the forum's collective intelligence can.
Can anyone shed light on the following Se5 fuselage markings:
A white 'H' followed by two vertical white stripes wrapping around the rear fuselage.
Sorry, no image available.
Regards,
John

Hi John, S.E.5a--I take it.

The marking SOUNDS like 60 Squadron post March 1918.

Sorry I can't be more specific..

Cheers,
Dave.

The stripes sound like 60 sqdn but the H is a mystery. "A" flight used A to F behind the cockade in the summer of 1918. "B" flight had a H but it was on the engine panel

Terry and David,
I should clarify that these markings may be spurious. They are on a flying, 80% scale, Se5a that a neighbour purchased a few months ago.
The original builder is no longer with us and they are not his initials so, a bit of a mystery. We surmised that the markings were taken from a photo but perhaps not.
Thanks you for the input re 60 Squadron.
regards,
John

I have the photo referred to. It is of a late 60 Sqn SE5a. Unfortunately the serial number is obscured by the sqdn marking of white bands, but what can be seen is part of a white band, then a 9 in the gap before the next white band, then a 9 again. There is an H on the nose, denoting B Flight. There is a pilot in the cockpit and two groundcrew- one very tall. I'd post an attachment of the photo but I can't be bothered to learn the complicated procedure on the site to do so. I believe the photo came from the late Joe Warne, who was in touch with many ex-60 Sqdn pilots. Re. the model mentioned. I can't understand why anyone would make a model of an SE5a when so little is known about its markings etc.
May I suggest that anyone interested in the markings of British aeroplanes in WW1 would find all the answers in the definitive book on the subject: British Aviation Squadron Markings of World War 1. by Les Rogers, published by Schiffer.
