Organisers admit on facebook that they havn't yet booked the vulcan!, the SwHF have the Scottish airshow confirmed on their website and Portrush confirm they have the Viggen on the sunday but still the Scottish airshow wont confirm, or at least are very slow at confirming any concrete bookings.With ten weeks to go this is pretty poor,especially when the're trying to push ticket sales. :S
