Well, dang: based on what Claudia wrote on page three, sounds like London's getting the B-2 Bomber. Won't be able to cross the country, but that's looking like a great show. Hoping Abbotsford has a few more announcements like this one!

I wonder if that might be two hints in one then?

Something Switzerland-related, and the B2? Or perhaps the Switzerland portion is just a diversion?!

EDIT: After re-reading the post, I now see the Switzerland reference! Missed it the first time around :)

It seems like Airshow London has used Claudia's post here to drum up a hint for a possible upcoming aircraft announcement? ;)

Not sure if Soloturk is gonna make it to London this year... https://www.soloturk.tsk.tr/en-us/News/Show-Calendar

Makes sense since the show hasn't confirmed or announced anything about it yet. Wouldn't be without precedent with these guys. They were scheduled to be at El Centro last year and they didn't show up.

It'd be great if I'm wrong though

It would be a big disappointment, it was one of the reasons I was traveling to London this year.

I'm going with the Patrouille Suisse for this hint. As for the Turk, The reason they aren't coming is really stupid.

Care to elaborate? Last I heard, details were still being worked on for it to confirm. It is quite possible that has changed though.

They're not coming because Turkey wants more rights to fly to Canada. AFAIK The Solo Turk slot for that weekend is going to another airshow. It's unlikely they'll come but not off the table until made official but this is why London is off their website and why ASL hasn't confirmed it.
