Just had a radio call to Ops (Possibly 8 Sqn) on 386.625 so that confirms that frequency is also still in use.

Hope you don't mind LincsVRS, just a few 25hz step corrections :-

259.520 is 259.525
298.945 don't know
308.620 is 308.625
409.515 don't know

232.350 looks to be a new Wadding approach frequency, first time I've heard today.

Snapshot called up on 280.175 (new director freq) but was told to contact on the above.

I can only hear the a/c on this frequency quietly, not the ground controller (I can normally hear all coms from the tower from home) , so not sure whats occurring there!

Not seen in reported anywhere else.

241.325 Tower Stud 2
345.075 Approach Stud 3 23.4.2020
280.175 Director Stud 4 23.4.2020
344.2 Talk down stud 5 23.4.2020
376.2 Talk down 2 Stud 6
232.7 Radar Stud 13

121.3 Tower/Ground 23.4.2020
119.5 Radar (LARS) 16.4.2020
125.35 Radar (normally for the Reds)
127.35 Radar 23.4.2020
291.675 ATIS 23.4.2020

343.975 Aden E3 Ops 23.4.2020
297.975 Shadow Ops (may have another name)
369.4 Vulcan Ops (Normally hear Shadows on this) 17.4.2020

The bottom three have not been heard for sometime, possibly last year for CW Ex?

This is what I've managed to put together for waddington -

Grd 342.125 1
Twr 241.325 2
App 345.075 3
Dir 280.175 4
PAR 1 344.200 5
PAR 2 376.200 6
Zone 232.700
Ops 297.975 (shadow)
Ops. 343.975 (aden)
Ops 369.400 (Vulcan)
Zone 119.500
Twr 121.300
Twr nato 122.100
App nato 123.300
Zone 125.350

Scampton's are in the same bank so I just add the following -

Grd. 336.525
Twr. 340.675

Are there any other frequencies that might be useful?

Seen it listed on 2 sites as a southend frequency . . .

https://www.military-airshows.co.uk/freqairport.htm

https://airportnavfinder.com/airport/EGMC/

Never had it as a waddington frequency :P
