Re: Frequencies Clacton Airshow - 23rd-24th August 2018
Great show on Thursday. Typhoon and Red Arrows were phenomenal. Shame that the Lancaster was a no-show having gone tech the previous day - but may be there today.
Air display frequency in use was 121.175. Off-display traffic handled by Clacton airfield on 118.150. As expected, some air-to-air on 123.450 and the Reds on their standard 243.450 primary.
Essex Raynet operational on 144.675, 433.700 and 438.400.
Did anyone find other active frequencies on the air display side?

Another marvellous show today. The Chinook was put through its paces. The Reds, BBMF sans Lancaster and Vampires also great. No new frequencies in use that I found.

Great show on Thurs, but I couldn't make Fri .
Highlights for me from Thurs were the Hangar 11 Mustang (some superb manoeuvres from that) & The Great War Display team . The Reds were good, but it certainly wasn't the best display I've ever seen them do. I think the patchy cloud was causing them problems & it looked like they tried a high display then switched to a medium level display after coming out of the cloud slightly out of formation. I might be wrong on that, but the patchy cloud was certainly obstructing the crowds view at times, so it must have done the same for the pilots?

And there's plenty more where that came from!
Re: Clacton Airshow - 23rd-24th August 2018
Agreed, Tankbuster. The Reds Friday performance was better - much less cloud. The weather did close in after about 14h30 and was very threatening for the later displays.
