New Manchester APP freq 119.525 mhz
Don't forget that from today the Manchester Approach frequency for light a/c has changed to 119.525 mhz
The old 119.40 freq which has served for more years than I care to recall is now the Tower freq when 24L/06R (R2) is in use
This especially affects pilots transiting the LLC or VFR arrivals into the zone

119.4 conflicts with Maypole airfield near Canterbury.
As aircraft working approach can be at a fairly high level this was causing breakthough at Maypole. By making 119.4 tower the breakthough dosen't occur as the aircraft are at low level.
119.52 was the Tower (Rwy 2) Freq, so it is a straight swop.

Tnx for the info re. Maypole. Surely there must be more to it than this! I can't believe that a 550 meter farm field appears to have more clout than M/cr! I guess there must be several other fields using 119.4 and having similar problems... Anyway it answers the question.

Not sure how long 119.4 has been in use as Appr, as long as I can remember.
Just had a search around and found this thread which explains that Approach was being used outside it's DOC :
