I doubt they will be privatising the RN or RAF in the same way as they privatised BT or British gas (if that is the sort of privatising you are talking about).
It looks to me as if the reporter asked the fisherman what his opinion would be if the helicopter was no longer there rather than what he thought if that helicopter was different colour.
PS Wasn't a Coastguard helicopter there at Boscastle as well as the RN and RAF?
