Default Fine dust?

Just a thought, could the pink colour have come from the very fine sand dust blowing in the air out in the Middle East?

Hi Tony,

I do not believe fine dust could turn selected bits of cloth on wings into pink.

It is true some vehicles left in the desert took on a kind of pinkish colour and the "Pink Panther" Land Rovers of the SAS were painted pink at one point in time for perfect desert camouflage.

Cheers,

Johan
