C185 is dated to the 1934 formation and was replaced by C186 in 1946. The later livery was based on Rethymnis & Kulukundis markings, substituting buff for the black base, and was also used by London & Overseas Freighters.
The FOTW rendering is based on Sampson and is also documented by Brown 1943.
The post-war group flag is a white-over-blue pennant with a red star. Brown 1951 shows a tapered swallowtail, which Rosanoski suspects is an error because other sources do not mention it and Brown 1958 shows the pennant. The related K51 attribution to Counties is likewise considered suspect.
