Based on what I've seen from the Hungarian website in the past, I'm pretty sure this is confirmed.

Cheers,

This was just posted on Airshow London's Facebook page

I'm going to assume its to announce the Solo Turk demo, as that is pretty big news and yet to officially be announced by the show.

Or....it could be something completely different...

Keep an eye on their Facebook page and AirshowStuff forums!

You were correct sir!

They confirmed the Solo Turk, along with the Super Hornet.

There was also mention of the RAAF sending something as well. They said there was apparently an official announcement by them, but I can't seem to dig that up anywhere. Anyone know which one that is?

I noticed that too (well, Dan pointed it out to me) and also have come up empty on this supposed announcement. I'm guessing they might send either a transport or a Super Hornet. Not sure what else it could be. There must be a big exercise around this time to attract both the Aussies and Turks.

This was also announced today too viewtopic.php?f=13&p=605#p605

London's show is 2 weeks after the last scheduled show in the UK, so we shall see. I don't want to get my hopes up, but with the show helping Celebrate Canada's 150th and the addition of some international aircraft already (Solo Turk, and Austrailian aircraft TBD), it would make sense and be a big deal.

We shall see!

This would be pretty incredible if it happens. The Snowbirds and Red Arrows at the same show... does it get any better than that?! :)
