That's the rumour I've heard too. Hopefully, the skies will clear and all three will come sailing over our neck of the woods.

A query with these three arrivals.
On June 7th, my SBS picked up 71C9C1 (Argo104), 71F9C3 (Argo105) and 71F822 (no callsign showing so assuming it's Argo106) all inbound to Boscombe.
Today at around 18.15 I picked up the third (?) Herc (Argo106), but with a mode-s of 71F904.
It's been reported on the SOU mailing list as being s/n 55-036. I thought 55-036 had a mode-s of 71F822.
71F904 is either a mode-s mis code or it could be a different Herc to what arrived on June 7th.
Be gentle with me, just adding my info.
