The recent swathe of OMD interviews in the media made me think of this. Anyone seen a dazzle ship before?
They were painted in totally bonkers patterns to try to confuse submarines & deter attacks.
I've seen that, or at least something similar.
You've reminded me that I remember something about planes being painted pink (rather than the obvious blue) as it was good camouflage in the sky. I'll have to a dig up a link to prove this though!
