And I bet if you told them that some day, you would be flying a pink spitfire and other folks would like you for it , it would have been "On yer bike mate!" or worseB)

It's not pink, it's desert sand camo and it's returning for a new paint.  Probably didn't get the word RAF Turnhouse closed several years ago.

Very pretty in pink! :wub:

There was a pink P51 based at Snohomish County Airport which was also Paine AFB at the time.  Often, at midnight chow, the O.D. an F89 pilot would sit with us and tell war stories.  He said at low level the Mustang ran rings around them but up high things were better.  Later that same P51 was summer rented by BLM in Alaska from its new owner, Red Dodge a legend captain with Western.  It was used for long range forest fire patrol and often stopped at McGrath - we had three former P51 jocks living there so lots of hand flying.
