Copied from the Yeovilton Airday facebook page today
RAF DISPLAYS CONFIRMED FOR AIR DAY!
Six different aircraft types from the Royal Air Force will be joining us at The Royal Navy International Air Day on Saturday 13 July with some jaw-dropping displays! Don’t miss one of the last displays by the RAF Red Arrows before they set off on their North American tour. The BBMF Lancaster will make a welcome return to Air Day, whilst the Typhoon Display Team will certainly bring the noise! The RAF Tucano will also be displaying before the type retires this October.

The Attack Helicopter Display has self-confirmed for Air Day. Great news really missed the Apache display last season, lets just hope it includes the usual pyrotechnics.

from an email I received today.
PARTICIPATION UPDATE
Alouette III – Belgian Air Force (Static)

First flown sixty years ago, the Alouette III is now a rare sight at air displays in the UK. We're delighted that one of the Belgian Air Force's long-serving SA316B Alouette IIIs is now a confirmed participant. The veteran utility helicopter will fly across from Koksijde on Belgium's North Sea coastline to be part of The Royal Navy International Air Day's static display. With retirement set for 2023, there may not be many more opportunities to see this type in UK airspace.

Christmas has come early at the Royal Navy International Air Day HQ: we're celebrating news of our first confirmed participants! The Lithuanian Air Force will make its UK flying display debut with an L-39C Albatros jet trainer at Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton on Saturday 13 July. The Eastern European Air Arm is also reprising its 2018 static display contribution with examples of the C-27J Spartan tactical transport aircraft and Mi-8UTV Hip troop transport/search and rescue helicopter - winner of Air Day 2018 Best Rotary Wing Static Display!

Does anyone know if the Mi-8 is going to stop by at EDLV/NRN Weeze airport for refueling just like last year?
I missed it last year :( and I live very close to it. When I got to Weeze, I litterally saw it flying away :(

Looks a bit thin regarding foreign fighters for 2019.
No surprise after an stunning show in 2018 though.

This was in the email that accompanied the poster :

"Later this year, British F-35s will embark in HMS Queen Elizabeth for the very first time. A full scale replica of the aircraft has been confirmed for static display and an announcement will be made if we have any further participation news."

I read into the email they could be announcing a F-35 fly past at a later date, or is that just wishful thinking. An RAF one did the flypast at Fairford last year with the Lancaster and Tornado, The Past, The Present, and The Future.

I read the same thing into it. I seem to remember they tried to get one last year (a week before RIAT) but didn't manage it. If they don't get one this year I think they'll look a bit silly having made it such a large centrepiece of the poster.

It's looking like a really good show. If they just get a few more, like the French Navy Rafales and another F-16 (oh, and an F-35B), it'll be great.
