well when the first chinooks arrived this morning ATC did ask if they where going direct Rotterdam or land at Eindhoven ?

[CurrentOps]

Are we sure they will go via Rotterdam? The ARC Endurance is currently moored in Antwerpen.

Well, we just got our answer (Rotterdam): https://www.defensie.nl/actueel/nieuws/ ... terbrigade

What is the location in Rotterdam where they have to go? Is there any info known of a location in that area where you can stand the best to make some pictures of the arivals overthere?

Jeroen,

The location is well shielded with containers so only visible from accross the river but that is quite a distance and warehouses are sometimes blocking the view. Another opportunity is when they are loaded into the vessel from location: 51.898511, 4.277937

Rotterdam has opened as off today for the acceptance of helicopters. From Eindhoven you will see a steady flow going to Rotterdam, where the helicopters can be put inside.
They will stay in Rotterdam for almost a month.

As mentioned above the ARC Endurance will arrive on 7 March and is scheduled to depart two days later.

Regards,
Hans van Herk

Already known when these helicopters are due to arrive in Rotterdam?
Will it be a all in 1 or 2 days, or will they be spread over the next couple of days/weeks?

At least a few already departed.

Will the transfer of 4CAB helicopters from Eindhoven to Rotterdam continue during the weekend?

Will the transfer of 4CAB helicopters from Eindhoven to Rotterdam continue during the weekend?

...not quite "off topic", or let alone "Nieuw tǿpic!"...

It seems the ship that is to bring the 4CAB choppers "back home" is expected somewhere in a few weeks time in March 2019

If so, then dismantling the helicopters in Rotterdam will not have that much priority...
"Weekend-work" may not be necessary

[Polleke_NL]

According to ARC's website, the Endurance is expected in Rotterdam on Feb.25 which is a week and a half earlier then mentioned somewhere earlier in this thread (Mar. 7)?

[JPS]

The Endurance is still in Antwerp at the moment, will it make a round trip to USEC before going to Rotterdam?
