Noted on ADSB:
Presently heading southwest of Mulhouse on a flight from Donauwoerth is a H145 "F-HBES". As this is a new registration I think it is the delivery flight of the new Mont Blanc Helicopters c/n 21070.
It was fuelstopping at Basle-Mulhouse.

Absolutely strange but then the only solution is that they in fact changed the test reg of one of the three remaining helis. They did it in the past ocasionally (for example one of the Ecuador AF got a new test reg). But then it can`t be D-HCBM: that one was noted flying yesterday (I saw it on ADSB ...
