This is one of those "but I vaguely remember..." sort of replies, BUT:

Wasn't there a P-51 ten or twenty years ago being flown on the airshow
circuit in those colors? If I recall correctly, it was owned by a
female pilot who was criticized for painting a warbird in hot pink; she
identified the colors as the Egypt campaign desert livery and the
complaints abated.

I don't remember details. Anyone else?

You're thinking of Sue Parrish and her P-40.

Your recollection is close. It was a P-40 and
AFAIK there was never any outcry about the Desert
Pink. I know I have a picture of it somewhere.

Still about pink planes - was there a pink spitfire?


5 minutes later -
Just did a quick google - there are a few references to the above - but this
video clip is at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIvUN539a7A

Comment on the same page:-
pink is suprisingly good camoflage against clouds, they used it early in the
war before switching to p.r. blue, which is how this mark 11 is now painted

Cheers

There's also that MkXIV Spitfire that's bright red. I was told that he gets
criticised about the colour and tells people to get their own ***ing
Spitfire and paint it whatever colour they like.
