The two Canadair aircraft have left because they cannot operate at night. Presumably, the two Australian helicopters have taken over, as can be seen on Flightradar. The Bell is flying at 500 meters above ground level, and the Chinook isn't visible because it's below 300 meters, but its lights are clearly visible from Mimizan.
