Gloster Gladiator Roundels, Code letters & serials This sheet includes markings which cover the early World War II period for the Gloster Gladiator. The markings cover the camouflaged wartime liveries with the most commonly seen roundels, tail markings and cocardes. Note that the Gladiator used two different style propellers, the early two-bladed wooden type and the later, more efficient three-bladed metal prop. The basic drawings below show the two types of prop, the smaller spinner being for the 3 blade prop, the larger for the 2 blade wooden type. Note also the streamlined 'boss was not always used on the 2 blade prop. These markings can also be used on the Hurricane, Spitfire, Defiant etc. Examples: Gloster Gladiator Mk.II, N2308 HP-B 247 Squadron, Roborough, August 1940. Gloster Gladiator Mk.I, RT-D 112 squadron, Egypt 1940. Gloster Gladiator Mk.I, RT-D 80 squadron, Egypt July 1940.
