Creamy. As far as I can remember yes to your first question and yes to your second question.
I did not keep my charts .
I will post shortly a scan of page 23 of the origional NAS reference guide headed. " how VFR use new charts". It shows both ATC and Flightwatch frequency biscuits .
Where a terminal RIS was available the approach frequency was included on the VNC and VTC charts - not otherwise.
Captain. You are correct. The RAPAC members by in large resisted change and were not interested how the NAS was supposed to work
They wanted to continue to fly by radio and insisted the old system be reinstated but did not understand the implications. I phoned dozens of individuals but got nowhere .
Thet is why we now have this present problem. As I said . Go back to pre 1991 and re instate FS or move forward to the proven safe US FAA NAS system. Not even a recommended frequency to monitor when enroute VFR in class E or G in the US.
But RAPACs would probably object until a few more oldies die out!
