I have for the first time developed 4 sheets of 5x4 HDPP in a Ilford Obscura and they have come out okay except for a pinkish hue in the highlights (sky area ) is this normal or have I blundered somewhere.

Make sure you've adequately fixed the paper (it uses up fixer faster than regular photo paper, in my experience), and also give it full rinsing required of FB paper.

Ta for the advice Joe.
 I have just checked them and most of the pink has disappeared. Hopefully it will all disappeared by morning as they are not fully dry yet.

yes, absolutely what Joe said.
The pink is a good indicator it is under fixed.

Have fun!
