Ever ask the question of why a camo airplane should be white on the
underside?

This was why RN Sea Harriers got repainted on their way south in 1982:
the gloss white underpinnings were unlikely to be required for that
particular conflict, and were likely to draw unfriendly eyes more than a
more subdued scheme might.

Why should delivering a "600lb Bomb, Medium Case" have been such a big
deal anyway?
