Pink P-40

A pink T-34 tank in London. Great. That is a real honour to all the Soviet tank crews who fought and died in this machine… :rolleyes:
Surely there are better uses for this piece of history?

The picture of the P-40 hanging in the lobby of the museum is very sad. I remember it in the air. The link has 2 pitures I took in 1988 at an airshow in Schenetady New York. I was told that the sand color paint used in North Africa faded to a pinkish color, but not THAT pink.

It may take a few minutes for the site to update.

Hum, no.

But I saw a T-34 on telly the other night, they were talking about Ukraine and there’s this T-34, all sparkling with frontovicks soldiers riding shotgun on it doing a parade somewhere in Ukraine.

She also had a pink T-34 with the same markings.

This pink T-34? 😀

Yeap, the wee planes are pedal powered toys for kiddies.

I saw a P-51 the other day, it looks quite fun! I wish I was young again!!

Pedalcars I’d guess, deah boy.

Pity it’s not flying any more! 🙁

And the Sue Parrish tribute wall in the Kalamazoo museum…

Kalamazoo just post Oshkosh – this summer…

She also had a pink T-34 with the same markings. Is the Beech (I said Beech, mind you!) still flying?

😉 😉

I have a FlyPast or that other magazine with an interesting article on this aircraft. IIRC it alleges that (aside from the owner liking pink) the colour-scheme is/was that of some USAAF desert camo that when exposed to sunlight over a period of time tended towards pink. I kid you not – but I also think significant liberties may have been taken. Very nice aircraft for all that.
