NIVO , abbreviated from Night Invisible Varnish Orfordness (or "Night Varnish Orfordness"),[2] British night bomber aircraft in the inter-war period (1918–1939).
NIVO-finished Vickers Vimy serial F8614 at the RAF Museum London
Developed in 1918 by the experimental station at Orford Ness , as a low-visibility colouring for the Royal Air Force it had a sheen to match that of open water on a moonlit night.[3]
It was applied to aircraft from 1918 and was used on the Vickers Virginia , Handley Page Hyderabad , Handley Page Hinaidi , Handley Page Heyfords and Fairey Hendon bombers.
By the mid-1930s, tests had determined that the varnish was too reflective when searchlights were shone on it.[3] Vickers Wellington , Handley Page Hampden and Armstrong Whitworth Whitley .
NIVO is covered by Federal Standard 595 colour FS:34096[4] [5]
