# A pink and Land-Rover!
I have a vague recollection of building a pink Land-Rover as an Airfix kit, which begs the question; was the British army driving round in pink Land-Rovers at some point?

# I guess they did, but if it was for camouflage purposes, why not just paint them beige?
I do know there was a pilot in WW2 who painted his plane a similar shade of pink for the same reason and somehow it worked.

Thought I'd dreamt building a pink Aitfix Land-Rover. Maybe it was a Tamiya kit? They were better made but more expensive.

# You learn something new every day :-) although I always thought that the second world war was in black and white ;-)
It'd be a sight to see if they had combined pink camoulflauge with dazzle camoulflauge.

# One of my sister's friends actually asked if people saw in black and white "in the olden days".
By this logic, the Ancient Egyptians must have seen things in hieroglyph.

# Haha, if you grew up in the late 60's, 70's it did seem somewhat like you were seeing in black and white!
Very drab time recession hit Britain in the 70's
