During 1944/45 16 sqn based at Melsbroek (B) repainted some of their recce Spitfires pink as this proved to be a better camouflage for low and medium altitude in the hazy European skies. PL965 was painted pink to represent such a Spitfire. This photo is copyright © Joop de Groot, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
