There was a few rotary aircraft out & about to the West of Edinburgh from Midnight until around 3am this morning. I was wakened at least twice.

Unless it was the same machine going back & forth?

Yes saw them Southbound a few minutes ago. Also is it correct that there’s an Apache (or 2) at Edinburgh Airport?

I presume that's a typo for ZH904 (which is actually ZK560)? The real ZH904 is currently on upgrade at Fleetlands.
