Last in the UK was in 1992, they did not return to Europe after that until 2006.

At Leuchars Air Show this year The Patrouille de France commentator mentioned they are doing something for their anniversary in 2013. Guess with the Blue Angels 2013 schedule released that's one team who could be ruled out from attending :lol:
Posh are going to Wembley (albeit for a tin cup)
