Hmmmm whilst it looks over the normal amount to me (been watching a long time) the real point to note is all the helicopters up in Northern Germany imo. Forget the gaggle in the UK up near Shawbury, they are the training aircraft for Brit mil heli pilots.

I will agree overall there are more than the normal level but not by much.

There is also a smaller grouping down near the French/Swiss border which aren't usually there?

Going back to the German bunch of heli's - interesting? Are they still searching for that madlad rambo man out in the woods?
