RAF Common 117.9
I will kick this off for those that recognise the title.
Do you have numbers that are engraved in your memory? How many can remember the Common frequencies let alone remember the numbers?
When did the RAF first create common RAF and Command? It was when crystalised VHF R/T was the main radio system. There were 3 boxes, one was lower VHF and the third higher. The RN had the one in the middle. I can't remember the ranges but the lower frequency was near 112 MHz and the upper near 140 MHz.
The channels I remember were;
RAF Common 117.9
Flying Training Command Common 115.56
Bomber Common Two 135.95
When flying outside controlled airspace, which was pretty much most of the country, we would monitor at least one Common.
Does anyone remember the other Common freqs?
