the aircraft will be as the same colour scheme as the MCA aircraft are at present
Interesting that the mil has agreed to this, as the amount of
PR generated by the micro-mil contingent in future will be diminished if the aircraft looks just like the civ-operated ones.
I realize that the future casualties have very little interest in what colour the aircraft is (or who's actually flying it), but in terms of news reports etc, it won't be as evident to Joey P that the aircraft on his TV screen has any connection to the military. At least the Sea Kings are evidently military, even if frequently attributed to the wrong service ("Navy helicopter from RAF Kinloss", "Army helicopter from Lossiemouth" etc etc).
