The F-86 may not be appearing, the list on the Golden Apple site is a "proposed" list rather than a definate list.

Gripen - A sales team will be at RIAT, no news on the actual aircraft yet.

Blue Eagles - yet to confirm any dates yet, not sure where that's come from.

When looking at the list on http://www.farnborough.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (the official site of the Farnborough Air Show) there are some other aircraft types that are likely to appear at Fairford. In 2006, Fairford and Farnborough also shared several participants.
On the Farnborough list are some nice aircraft listed, including: T-6 (Texan II), Super Hornet, Osprey, HAL Dhruv (BK117 lookalike) and the new Indian jet trainer aircraft (forgot its name).
Don't know if these types are really confirmed yet, but still...
