Still about pink planes - was there a pink spitfire?

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

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

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?

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.


Probably this one.........

Where I live we have a woman driving a hot pink Ford LTD with the number
saying pinkpinkpink and a sticker across the back window that says "because
I can"
