I believe the Rainbow callsign is currently used for the Queens Helicopter Flight S-76s. Other callsigns used in addition to those above include "Leopard" for when Prince Andrew was PIC and "Kittyhawk" (and just "Kitty"when positioning empty) for the 32Sqn HS 125s and 146s when a VVIP is on board. More recently, royals have increasingly been using civilian private jets which use "Sparrowhawk" when a VVIP is onboard.
