Very nice Jan. Should be worth a trip to the Belgian coast. At what time did you take these pics? Morning?

Today I saw a Columbia Helicopters Vertol 107 fly through the Grimsel Pass in Switzerland. It flew in a northerly direction roughly towards Meiringen. Unfortunately I could not identify it.

HeliSwiss has one since begin this summer, so you probably you did see this one. If I remember correctly it is a N (US) tail number.

Thanks for that info. You are probably right. I saw some pics and the colors on that Swiss machine bear some resemblance with the Columbia colors.

As I write Vertol N6675D is parked at Knokke Heist! So that’s a third one
