"The quote when I asked if she could do a flypast at Manchester Aviation Fair on the way home from Yeovilton was that she will stay at Yeovilton and then go to Fairford."

Hope this is true because with all the Hunters, Gladiator, BBMF etc etc it would be a nice addition to all the other elderly aircraft there - For a significant part of the show you could be forgiven for thinking you were at a 1960's air show!!!

No B-52 or B-1 Flying this year because the B-52 is in a upgrade program and the B-1 has other commitments. Only a B-52 on static

As was announced way back at airtattoo.com, the US will participate with 18 aircraft. Up till now 17 are confirmed at the participants, leaving just one not officially known (basic maths). Don't be surprised if that one will turn out to be a spare for the A-10.

These should be support, so they will most probably not be at the showdays.
