Private Supermarine Spitfire PR.XI G-MKXI

No, it's not an advert for "Sheila's Wheels". The RAF performed trials with high altitude reconnaissance aircraft visibility(based on the observations of the founder of the PRU, one Sidney Cotton) and came up with this ! Carries the serial PL965/R and formed half of a display partnership, with Hurricane XII G-HURR as "Pink and Black". When last I saw this aircraft (2005), it had changed to the more commonly applied, PRU Blue scheme.
