Mainjafad, Great posts you are clearly the top banana on this topic.
My favourite was the Puma done up for a tiger meet. Can't recall the year but I did have some pics (wet film era).
I also remember the wash off paint. in particular the T4 Canberra pained blue for the anniversary where B Beaumont flew it.
Now then I am surprised the Coff has not come across this thread. it would be 20 pages long and full of wonderful pictures of such things.
