Around a week until 12(B) Sqn come to stay If you hear a interplane freq or call sign the squadron use, can you please post in this thread. So we can find out if they are using II(AC) or 12(B) Sqn frequencies

NO movements please

Interplane

These are off the top of my head so might have missed some

[np1991]

6 Sqn have taken 240.375 Gary.

[Gary]

Thanks Niall, did 12(B) have any other frequencies?

[POL]

SULTAN is registered with ICAO as being UAE Presidential Flight, so I'd imagine they've lost it.

[np1991]

375.45 was used a lot by 12. Haven't heard anything on it since last year.

[Reptile 1]

From what i've read Gary both 12 and 2 are reforming/Standing up this week so we might be hearing them by the end of the week

AOC No1 Group

''This week sees the reformation of 12 (B)Sqn, stand up of II(AC)Sqn on Typhoon & centenary of XIIISqn''

[Gary]

So far this week, no II(AC) or 12(B) Sqn call signs used or interplane frequencies have been used. At least a couple of II(AC) pilots have been up but as singletons and using their Marham call sign

According to the II(AC) Sqn association, the ceremony is being held in a hangar, so there might not be a flypast No NOTAMS have been issued for one either

[lowlevelRAF]

Will be a real shame if there is not even a flypast to celebrate the life of the Sqn and time of unit using the Tornado Are they forming up 12 (B) Sqn / Standing down II (AC) Sqn today?

[Gary]

Yep they are mate, looks like the brass just arrived on a BAe 125

[Gary]

BBC journo Alexander Dunlop -has tweeted a photo of the ceremony

So long II(AC) Hello 12(B)

[grimly aviation pics]

Has there been any new tonkas come down with 12 sqd if so do you know the series?

[Gary]

Not sure if there has been any jet swaps since Christmas break,

12(B) / 31 Ops is still called Norvik No interplanes or call signs used yet

[Reptile 1]

Marham 12 was up today in ZA542 which has been used by 31 Sqn over the last few weeks.

[Gary]

361.750 in use today former II(AC) Sqn interplane freq, at least that means scanner won't need to much reprogramming Missed the call signs using it

Edit Marham 12 was on of the call signs, the jet is showing as the 40th anniversary jet ZD788

[Gary]

361.750 in use again this evening, still no squadron call signs been used
