From their page:

To celebrate the Queen's Jubilee, the 2012 RAF Leuchars Airshow will recognise the joint contribution of the Armed Forces during her reign

So hopefully some Army and RN participation. Have we ever had an Apache display?

Apache displayed during a very murky 2008 show

And two Spits rather than Spit/Hurricane - cue same furore as last year?

[portagee01]

Worse is that the 3 are scheduled to transit up on the Saturday again so stands the risk of getting weathered out.

According to the website, the Daks previous engagement is to be on the Tuesday so why not bring it up earlier in the week ?

Maybe needed for Crew training / currency. Also the Jersey show is on the 13th, so will probably be needed to ferry spares and crews about.

[Davef68]

The twin usually acts as escort for the fighters as well - whose pilots usually have day job commitments!

[stratocaster]

2 Spits and a Dak a likelyhood? Mmmm,going to be unusual,that should be a good photoshoot no matter.

RAF Hawk confirmed http://www.raf.mod.uk/hawkdisplayteam/displayprogramme/

Just hope for good weather in Jersey and Belgium

[stratocaster]

[Trevster]

[Ryand19]

Going by a thread on Aviation Waffle it looks like we might have some 1 squadron tiffies on the Static. Here's hoping

[redsfan]

Is there a definitive list of attendees for Leuchars and East Fortune, please? Obviously the Red Arrows will be at Leuchars
because programmes are already on sale and the Reds are included but I wonder if they'll be at East Fortune as well.

[Trevster]

Red Arrows now confirmed - http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds/displayinfo/displaydates.cfm

Original post updated with all from this thread so far...

[tomcatforever]

Doesn't appear the Dutch F-16 will be at Leuchars http://www.f16demoteam.nl/pages/calendar-2012.php

I'm surprised the website has been updated yet even with the RAF stuff seeing as tickets are now on sale

[scotflyer1]

looking at waddington for this year, looks good for them, i wonder if all raf resources just look at this show only.
i take it leuchars wont be at the same level, i think we can tell this by the limited info coming from airshow team, and putting tickets on sale before giving an indication of show strength is a little cheeky.
come on leuchars if its the last show lets go out with a cracker

Two things;

Patience is a virtue and who says it's the last show?

Good call Finningley Boy, this is only April and Leuchars isn't until September so I reckon there is still plenty time for participants to be announced. I reckon it's a case of keep calm and (carry on) be patient. Or wishful thinking.

[stratocaster]

We'll gradually get a difinitive list,and I just hope the sunny warm weather will be a confirmed attendee!

[Unknown74]

Yes Yes and Yes stratocaster a superb day of lovely sunshine for the North East of Fife for the 15th of September 2012 is absolutely essential!!!!!!!!!!!! - well and the 14th for arrivals!

[portagee01]
