Does anybody know which of the following MATZ's are active during weekends. - CHURCH FENTON - LINTON - TOPCLIFFE - DISHFORTH - LEEMING.

I am aware that sometmes gliders use the frequency for Dishforth if they're operating.

Any help with this would be extremely helpful!

CF and Dishforth - nearly every weekend (gliders / Tutors).
Linton - gliders sometimes.
Leeming - QRA F3s sometimes. UAS
All of em - can be active = Mil Bases.
If in doubt call em on the radio and ask, use the LARS guys to tell you. If MATZ active = 3000' AGL + the stubs 1000' - 3000'.
Give em a call - some are nearly human!

Use the LARS service. Humberside and Teesside will advise you which mil units are active and what services (if any) are available. Good luck.

If you call linton expect to get a little bloke on a handheld, in a control caravan from the middle of the airfield, with half a dozen vigilant (grob 109) motorgliders around.

Matz not normally active, but atz is. Always check mind.
