It seems that, despite the cancelled Frisian Flag the CDG is still operating in the North Sea for the next nine days.
The notam is active now:

F) SFC G) FL200
And thanks to Fightercontrol a 1st movement was noted this afternoon.
FNY5481 an E2 was operating over the North Sea.
Perhaps a good waste of time for some of our radio fans to pickup some comms.
During recent ops in the med they used both FNY5*** callsigns, as well as tactical callsigns like Lascar 1** and Kimono1**.

At 14.00z the CDG was near Ebusa which is Latitude 55° 0' 0.00" N, Longitude 5° 54' 9.00" E (so outside the above mentioned area)
Amsterdam reported fighter operations up to flightlevel 080.

Amsterdam info 124.300/ 136.650 had traffic throughout the day. Currently (18.30z) he is warning an offshore helicopter for four low level fighters (Rafale's).

Re: Charles de Gaulle OPS North Sea
Listened back Amsterdam info, and yesterday morning around 10.00lcl the following was heard:
09.47 Lascar120 checking in, self confirmed as 2x Rafale 100miles north of Leeuwarden, when Amsterdam replied he changed to callsign FNY5642, and minutes he replied as FNY5634. So a bit of an identity problem.
At 09.53 Kimono130 was checking in after departing the carrier, also self identified as 2x Rafale, doing airwork 50 miles south of present position.
