For the best part of the last hour - roughly 19:30-20:30 UTC, and no end to it as I type this - a helicopter has been slowly circling the area near Haacht railway station. It is not visible on flightradar24, and sounds much like our Federal Police MD900 NOTARs. Would it really be the police? What evil might be afoot that they spend such a long time at low altitude, right between EBBR approaches 25L and 25R - both active? Can I still risk taking my dog for an evening walk?
Update: 21:15 UTC and they seem to have gone. Mission accomplished? Or fuel exhausted?

Helicopter above xxx is a heavily discussed topic in a few Facebook groups. For example and from time to time: in the Mechelen Facebook group, people write about their observation of a helicopter above the city. Quite funny to read
