The helicopters of the British Army Air Corps are covered by a set of eight tones, which reaches from the olive finishes of the seventies through a pair of British grays to the improvised desert overpaints of the operation in the Persian Gulf.
Responsibility details are not available.
The older part of the palette is made up of the olive to the British standard BS 381C in shade 298, complemented by a black. This combination was carried by the machines of the Army Air Corps from roughly the seventies to the nineties, and not only by helicopters but also by the unit's fixed-wing aircraft. The third tone is the olive green in shade 220, with which the rotor blades of the Scout, Gazelle, Bell 212 and Lynx types were painted from the nineties.
The pair of medium and dark sea gray in shades 637 and 638 matches the later British standard and comes into its own on the AW159 Wildcat machines as well, which beside the army also fly with the navy. The remaining three shades tell a different story: the light stone in shade 361 and the desert sand FS30279 were applied in haste right in the field in 1991 to the Lynx and Gazelle machines sent to the Persian Gulf.
The last bottle holds the dark green FS34031, that is the overall shade of American army helicopter equipment, which the British took over for their fleet of Apache attack helicopters.
The composition covers almost the whole helicopter fleet of the unit, from the reconnaissance machines of the sixties to today's attack types.
