Probably less then that, it seems part of the helo’s will be unloaded in La Rochelle, and another part of them will be delivered to Volos, Greece.

by quirk of chance I'll be in La Rochelle from the 18th. I guess they will all be gone by then...?

No doubt a couple of bent stragglers on the dockside!

If any stragglers are still there by that time, it is doubtful if they will be visible (don’t know the port of La Rochelle). But the US Army put walls of containers around the docks they were using in Bremerhaven, Zeebrugge and Rotterdam. So don’t put your hopes too high unfortunately.

Looks like there is only one quayside that will be able to handle a ship capable of transporting helicopters and access doesn’t look promising land side. Will these helicopters re locate to a nearby airfield before heading further into Europe?
