We have performed sensitive observations of three classical head-tail radio galaxies at λ11.1, 6.3, and 2.8 cm using the Effelsberg 100-m telescope (Zech, 1994). Complete maps of the sources 3C129, NGC1265, and 3C465 were obtained, including the distributions of the linearly polarized intensity. Together with the low-frequency interferometric maps these allow a comprehensive study of their radio spectra and, based on models of particle losses, the derivations of particle ages across these sources. The highest frequency involved allows an unambiguous derivation of the projected magnetic field structure, unimpeded by Faraday effects. Here we focus on NGC1265, which is located in the Perseus Cluster.
