A question I'd have been asking in the next day or two; many thanks for the answers!!

Thanks - I've seen 333.550/299.500 listed as freqs for Saudi Hawks - anyone able to confirm or suggest an alternative?

I think anything listed for the Saudi's would be from when they were last here, although the Reds haven't changed in that time so could still be in use. I don't typically try to find the display team freqs as they often speak in their native language and I don't
May have the airspy with me this year so might give it a go, I'll share if I find them.

Thanks for posting the frequencies, time to get the scanner programmed ready

I've got Fairford Ground as 121.175 (can't remember if that equates to actual frequency of 121.180). Fairly sure RIAT tend towards VHF where possible

Spot on, Fairford has no ground freq on VHF so they are allocated a temp freq. They say 121.180 but that stems from when they just rounded everything up a while back the actual freq they use and you want in your scanner in 121.175. It's at the bottom of my list if you look. Again you are right that they will always favour VHF.

Thanks ever so much for these frequencies. Forgive me, but what is WFU please?

Withdrawn From Use.

The ones from ATC are most likely to be the ones in use - they will be in the tower!

No idea about teams, if anyone can help that would be good.

100% the ones from ATC will be in use by the tower but they are duplicates of the one's I shared. The others will be used too though, notably aircraft in the area will pop up on some of the Brize freqs and I know some like to have a listen to Brize once FFD has shut for the day. SOF and metro were also used last year from memory but aren't related to tower ops so ATC haven't quoted them. I'll be running an Airspy on site from Tuesday so hope to share the teams freqs once I have them, I'll keep you posted.
