Red face Arrows Farnborough c***up?
I have been told by a work chum that the 'Reds' were causing all sorts of mayhem on Sunday by being on the incorrect frequency when they arrived at Farnborough for their display. Chum was tuned into the tower and could here someone going ape because they were tuned into ground. Apparently the language on air was rather ripe.

Anybody wish to confirm/deny or set the record straight.







If in doubt BANG OUT.

Couldn't agree more. We have all transmitted on the wrong frequency at some time or another....this is a non story

I'm only asking if it did happen, it's not an attack on the Arrows... so calm down.

They're the Red Arrows - Tower was on the wrong freq obviously!

The correct frequency is advisory for aircrew anyway...
