I had contacted them about radio frequencies and is is what they replied

"HI James,

Re publicising the ATC frequencies. Listening to a non-public broadcast frequency is illegal so unfortunately we are not able to publish frequencies. If you do have a radio you can go to the CAA website and obtain the frequencies by setting up a free account to access the information. Hope this helps!"

Why can't they just tell us?
James

The P-51 wasn't at Newcastle in 2012 it was the Spitfire he had over that year. I remember him doing that really low pass down the beach to finish!

Do you think they might stay over? Would be silly putting hours on the BBMF lanc when there's an airport with (RAF Hangers) nearby
