UK ARA Map
The RAF conduct a large percentage of Air to Air Refuelling (AAR) under the control of one of
Air Defence Radar (ADR) stations, Boulmer, Neatishead & Buchan for example or a discrete
London Mu frequency. Whilst each of the AAR areas is allocated two frequencies
(primary & secondary) these are not always used and there does appear
to be some contradiction as to exactly which frequencies are allocated
to which Air to Air Refuelling Area (AARA).
