So what do we reasonably expect the Canadians to send for static to mark the 100th anniversary? The RAF has surely done enough with both Typhoon and the Reds to secure a small selection of their assets.
My guess:
Pair of CF-188 Hornets
CC-177
CC-130J
CC-330 Tanker Transport
Merlin or Huey within the back of the C-17 like they did in 2018.
I'd be keen to see a CC-150T, and perhaps a CC-130H(T) or CC-130H(SAR) (rather than another CC-130J - not that I'm ungrateful).
A CP-140 & CT-142 (Dash-8) would be good to see too.
A good shout there for some kind of helicopter in the back of a CC-177.
Let's wait and see what materialises in the coming months...

Didn't they also chug a CH47 into the back of either a C-17 or C-130 somewhere in 2017-2018?

2017 and they flew it into brize the week before so it could conduct training with the RAF chinook force.
Gone a little bit under the radar seems to be the anniversary of the Tornado, would be great to get at least one up in the air through one of the themes! The perfect set up would be a flypast of the German, Italian and Saudi ! But I will take just one of them being part of a NATO flypast of some kind. Just to hear those engines on takeoff again
Just realised with the Indian Navy ongoing, the Mig-29's range is 2100km with fuel tanks.
The distance to the UK from India is 7,600km.
Doubt we'll be seeing them then! Unless they do multiple stopovers (which I cant see happening) or a big if would they sail the aircraft carrier nearer for them to depart?
I know its a wishlist but Indian Navy MiG29s? More Westworld than Wishlist.
Croatia is a NATO member and their new Rafales are flying in France. That would be a nice one.
And following that trail: which other exotic aircraft are flying in the 'neighbourhood'? Lats years we had the Kuwait and Qatar EF2000's. More far away were the Canadian and Indian Hawks. The Airbus factory in Sevilla has some juicy Casa's...

Singapore M-346's are based at Cazaux. Has it really been 24 years since the Skyhawks at Waddington?

I'm sure Leonardo have some interesting helicopters in Italy - exotic NH90 or AW149? (They've probably also got some interesting C-27J too, and others).
Maybe a Lynx, Merlin or Wildcat from Yeovil depending on what's flying in July?
(I'll also add in the ex-RNZAF MB339 aggressors in France with SDTS).
I'd wish for the Polish F-16 Demo Team to bring a static regular Block 52+, maybe 1 with the special pattern paints, or maybe as a reserve (They normally use a D as reserve)
