Psst!  Todd!  I know it's been a long time and the memory does start to go, but that was Mako with the nail polish :)

Unless you were borrowing from him and we didn't know?

To fly this monstrosity is one thing, but to get shot down by a plane in this skin?  What does that make you?

I actually read that they painted some photo reckon planes pink, somethin to do with being harder for the eye to fix on that colour.

Yeah, they painted the Euro recon Spits like that.  There's one that's been restored and is flying the air show circuit with that paint scheme.  For the desert recon Spits, they painted them baby blue to camo better against the sky.

A wartime color photo of 16 Squadron Spitfire FRIXs in pale pink camo for low alt recon work.  These are gunned Spit IXs btw, not PR XI like the restored flying pink Spit.  Same camo though, and used for under the clouds recce work where they might need to protect themselves more often then a high alt unarmed XI.

Note the underwing invasion ID stripes as this was taken in the fall of 1944 at Melsbrook, near Brussels, Belgium.

The scan doesn't do justice to the 'pinkness' of the Spit IXs in photo btw.
