Trump Visit 12th to 15th July 2018

Post by WAP » Fri Jul 06, 2018 10:28 pm

Hi All,

I know there are a couple of threads already on this visit but thought it worth starting one minus the speculation etc. and trying to keep on topic.The BBC have just released plans for the possible 4 day trip to the UK with DT going to London and Scotland.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-44737555
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44741671

In short and my understanding of what has been published....

Thursday 12th July
Arrive from Brussels (afternoon)
Dinner at Blenheim Palace
Over night at Winfield House in London (US Ambassadors residence)

Friday 13th July
Travel to Chequers with the PM (Morning)
Travel to Windsor to meet with the Queen (Afternoon)
Travel to Scotland in the evening

Saturday 14th / Sunday 15th
Scotland (No public details as yet)

No airspace restrictions have been published as far I can see yet but at least those interested in the Hardware side of the visit have a few chances to see something.
Cheers! Jamie

"It also states he will visit a unknown military site on Friday before heading to chequers"

My guess either Salisbury Plain or maybe Fairford

I assume AF1 will come into Stansted due to the close proximity of Northolt, would this be right?

Or alternatively Trump uses a C-40 from Bruxelles to Northolt and straight into a helicopter to Chequers.
