Fine work, Javo...

Are those yellow stripes a quick-recognition markings?

Thank!
Exactly, are marks of recognition to avoid antiaircraft artillery attack AAA itself.

And why did they paint over the flag on the tail? It seems odd if they were recognition markings as they are very different to the Harriers in all respects.

Never saw a harrier with markings on the tail
Do you have any pictures?

Why did they paint one pink, that is rather bright.

That's an actual livery. After a few boozes, some guys decided to paint a Mirage in pink. IIRC correctly, the unit CO flew it that way, but they had to remove the paint in front of the windshield to avoid it from blocking the view (it wasn't quite dry yet).

I'll try to find the picture. I think I have it somewhere...

Nice work, Javo!

I have these two images.

Now, seriously...

Judging by second photo, no matter how old or low-res it is, it is easy to understand that this "on-the-ground-ugly-pink" actually gives quite good camo on the high altitude. For me, the only question is: was it in frequent use, or it was some sort of tribute to the some wwII recon unit?
