The RAF's "Battle of Britain Memorial Flight" Dakota (DC3) will be dropping into LBA Controlled Airspace this Sunday, May 6th. Its been booked to do a flypast over the Village of Farsley (West Leeds) at around 15:35, so she may well make an appearance over airfield as well.

The RAF BBMF DC3 flyapst on Sunday over Farsley has now been cancelled for the following excuse.

With respect this frequency spacing has been on the agenda for aircraft operators for a couple of years.
The aircraft operator should have made provision to upgrade the avionics as there are lots of 8.33 frequencies coming on line now.
Our Grumman is done and our Cherokee is at Bagby having a new box fitted.

Is this just a Leeds thing then or is it a national change?..If its national then I would be very suprised if BBMF havent updated.If its just a Leeds thing then they won`t bother doing an update and just refuse any requests in this area. Love to know what the reason is..

According to a previous poster on the ATC thread a few weeks ago, the actual frequencies haven't changed. It's just the spoken and written notation that is now using 5 khz to denote 8.33 khz spacing, if that makes any sense (I barely understand this myself). So for example, radar is still 134.575 MHz but is spoken as 134.580.

If quik123 or radar are in the building, they should be able to explain more clearly than I !

Perhaps we should ask the RAF to open up scheduled services from LBA as they seem to like it more than some airlines do. Please all excuse my stupid sarcasm!

We get the charters next season as Huddersfield Town stay in the Premier League.

Thought every cloud was supposed to have a silver lining! Joking apart credit where credit is due. HTAFC had three horrible final fixtures and to pick up a point from each of those first two, much as it pains me greatly to say this, they deserve their 2nd season with the elite of English football.

 

[Bigman]

I wouldn't mind betting they will beat your lot lbaspotter this weekend to end on a real high!!! Will certainly keep the charters and bizzies moving next season.
