Ah ha, one of the Photo Recon versions of the Spitfire, Mk IX I think
A legitimately pink wartime plane
Apparently the pink worked really well at dawn or dusk on photo recon runs.
I like the Mk XIV too but..... no merlin, griffin powered, deal breaker for me
I think my favourite is the Mk I.
Can't imaging a night of drinking... and waking up to see a giant pink bird flying over
...I'm sure it worked very well ...the color must have blended in with the skyline early and late in the day
Though really Pink wouldn't be my first choice of color

Yeah I must admit it seems a little odd. Apparently the pale pink worked really well against cloud cover too
