Shall we let Vandermorph answer the easy question, including how they dicovered the colour worked by accident?

Note the judicious placement of oil trays...but maybe that is a Topic for the Technical Section

During WW2 the RAF were testing prototype Aircraft to counter the Lauftwaffe's best efforts. They had the test flight aircraft in offshore bases and painted everything including wheels up in easily visable colours (PINK) (ORANGE) etc so the brass could spot them from the ground. One of these plains crashed and vanished. Years later, it was found purely by accident. The pink colour had masked into the background so much the people who found it could only just make it out less than a coupleof hundred feet away.
When the British Defence department found this out they instantly started experimenting with the colour, the land rover seen above in this thread is the result
3) When the Range Rover invented, and what were the basic guidelines and needs it had to fulfill in it's design?
What year was this?
Not really a technical topic, moved to general.
