Quite often stuff that has transited through the Lichfield corridor will contact Shawbury on 282.000 for low level 'let-down', generally for LFA7 (not just the MAch Loop). Could be any type of aircraft heading that way tbh

282.0 is Shawbury Approach which also provides a Lower Airspace Radar Service (LARS). There is also a discrete frequency, 376.675, for helicopters operating at low level in LFA9.

Not spotting anymore and Shawbury is very anti spotter anyway. But probably a bit overdue for an update on frequencies.

Updated List of Stud/Freq tie ups known

STUD 0 = 341.650 DATIS
STUD 1 = 121.575 INFORMATION (Understand this is a VHF freq because the Junos/Jupiters UHF box cant operate when aircraft is shut down. They require start up on this frequency. :whistle: )
STUD 2 = 362.000 TOWER
STUD 3 = 279.450 TOWER/QUIET
STUD 4 = 369.175 LOW LEVEL LFA9
STUD 5 = 363.275 LFA9/QUIET
STUD 6 = 241.925 TERNHILL GROUND
STUD 7 = 386.675 TERNHILL TOWER
STUD 8 = 307.300 CHETWYND
STUD 9 = 269.425 SHAWBURY APPROACH
STUD 10 = 276.800 IF QUIET
STUD 11 = 373.225 SHAWBURY DIRECTOR
STUD 12 = 377.775 SHAWBURY TALKDOWN
STUD 13 = 360.450 SHAWBURY TALKDOWN
STUD 14
STUD 15
STUD 16 = 387.325 SHAWBURY OPERATION (VARIOUS SQN OPS)

SHAWBURY MATZ is 133.150, I am sure that has a stud number to , but unknown by myself.
