Now the dust has settled can anyone answer the vital question...
What will the colour scheme be?

Black and orange?


PICTURE: Soteria reveals S-92 livery for SAR-H

I don't believe black and orange works well except for visibility to other aircraft for collision avoidance, and only when above the horizon for the 1/4 sec of potential manoeuvre if actually on a collision heading.
White and red is internationally recognised but white is poor against snow, clouds, water reflection and red isn't as noticeable as some would think.
Matt grey and red, no glint to catch the eye in some conditions and obviously a poor compromise from having to use a mil scheme.
Personally I like the all yellow, easy to see over all terrain

The old SAR-H thread may be of use to some and would save most of the silly inter service, mil/civil trash talking. But at 87 pages I couldn't face a detailed read

Anyone know what happened to the chap who went to Soteria and seemed to be the scapegoat for SAR-H?
