RAF Rescue Seaking Falklands Grey Paint Colour

[LaurieS]

Building the RAF Rescue Seaking used in the Falklands.

 

Yellow was ditched & its colour is replace with a grey.

 

Any help on the colour much appreciated.

 

Built an RN Seaking & that is a slight green colour. But the RAF seems to be a silvery grey.

Standard UK Dark Sea Grey BS381C : 638 plus a few defensive lumps and bumps.

 

In later years the airframes sent down south were in standard yellow without the defensive aids suite and one of them even briefly carried a tiger scheme for a squadron anniversary although with permission refused for them to be painted on the stripes were cut from black bin bags and fixed with tape consequently it had to firmly remain on the ground.
