Many surprises rumored sounds very interesting!
Tribute to 47 squadron
Re: VIP/ families day on Friday honouring D-Day many surprises rumoured?
It's a celebration of the 75 anniversary of RAF Fairford being open I believe, no idea what might be there, apart from maybe a few B2's..a C5 and a C17 .. 

If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

Maybe Mike Pence will attend. He’s in London. Israeli prime minister also due in UK. Wild guess.
