When the SFX moved to Honington as the 1st Scouting Force, the original cadre retained their 355th Fighter Group aircraft but converted to the code letters of the 364th Fighter Group Squadron to which they were attached. This was N2 (383FS), 5Y (384FS) and 5E (385 FS). In addition, they created a unique 1SF colour scheme. This consisted of a red spinner backed by a white nose band and a red border around the complete vertical and horizontal tail planes. There was at least one exception to this scheme as Bill Schofield's "Francisco" retained the 364th FG scheme of alternate blue and white bars around the nose band.
