Endurance arrived at Zeebrugge.

yup it is...but at the wrong spot for chopper unloading right now ! so i would say vehicles unloading first...

Indeed, 21TSC facebook page shows HH-60, AH-64 and CH-47's being unloaded from dawn till dusk.

The post time would suggest pre-Dawn til early afternoon !!

According a news website for the Chievres region the helicopters will arrive in Chievres from Wednesday 16 October. It also mentions that about 45 helicopters are expected.

Which Dock are they using now?

ARC Endurance is moored at centre 51.31594 3.22572.

ARC Endurance is moored at centre 51.31594 3.22572

Which would mean Canadakaai quay 532 in the righthand corner of the tri-junction.

Correct they created a new compound compared to previous deployments.
This compound is out of sight and you are not able to see any chopper from outside or otherside of the harbour.
Also when they will fly away it is quit far to observe an take decent pictures !

[Arjan]

Thanks for the answers. Are there allready helo's on the move to Chievres?
