Collective Noun
Gentlemen...and Ladies here present
Your suggestions please for the correct collective noun for a group of helicopters?
Gaggle?...Swarm?...Whoop?
I'll give you mine later. For now, your best, por favor.

Very good so far, very good.
Forgot to say there's a bottle of cheap Rioja in it for the best suggestion (just for fun, Mr Mod).
Hope that'll fire up the Antipodean mob in a few hours, in any case. They can't get good wine down there, I hear

(Sitting here on the Med, bored and drinking cheap Rioja while it blows a 50kt gale outside. Bloomin' pool chairs are already in the pool. Thinking the BBQ will go next!) 21:57 UTC

a small gathering would be - 'a mob',
a large gathering would be - 'a big mob'
a medium gathering would be - 'might be a fair size mob?'
anyone that has worked with aboriginals in stock camps will recognise that. note the question mark.
as far as wine down under, - 'there's a proper big mob of that, good stuff too!'
and we're always willing to experiment.
