In article ,
"Ray O'Hara" wrote: "Mitchell Holman" wrote in message ... a mismatched paint scheme. no deset camouflaged plane had d-day invasion stripes. Maybe. I found this: "The greatest drawback of the pink camouflage was that this colour made the pilots feel very vulnerable even though this was not the case. The pink colour was only ever used on Spitfires and was still being used on the F.R. Mk. IXC's of 16 Sqn after D-Day when based in continental Europe (complete with D-Day stripes). There are some excellent colour photos of the latter taken on "captured" German Agfa 35 mm film by a 16 Sqn pilot. Copies are available in the RAF Museum collection and they have been published in a number of books."
