Standard colours of RAF/RN search and rescue helicopters

For many years military and civil search and rescue role on the UK waters was shared between RAF Search and Rescue Force (a successor to RAF Air Sea Rescue Services, renamed after 1986 when last RAF Marine Branch vessels were retired), the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm and HM Coastguard.

RAF SAR Force operated Westland Whirlwind HAR.2/4/10, Westland Wessex HAR.2 and Westland Sea King HAR.3/3A helicopters, while detachment to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus also used Griffin HAR.2. The RAF Search and Rescue Force was disbanded in 2016 after transferring the SAR role to civilian contractor Bristow.

Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm operated similar types for SAR duties - Whirlwind HAR.1/3/5/9, Wessex HAS.1/HU.5 and recently Sea King HAR.5/HU.5. Its Search and Rescue operations also ended in 2015 with above mentioned privatization of the entire service.

The Blue Line paints are water-based acrylics optimised for use with a paint brush. Special formula developed and tested with top European brush-painting modellers. Ideal for usage in the wet-palette technique but also perfect for less experienced modellers and painting straight from the bottle. Highly pigmented and extremely well covering paints. After drying give perfectly even surface, without leaving traces of brushstrokes.
