Anybody know whether the ME109 of EADS will be participating?

Of course there will be weather participating. You only have to wait till the show itself what kind of weather.
A weather forecast is a forecast and just that

I'm assuming we'll see the French Naval Rafales taking part, possibly flying with the Etendard(s)?

P-47 departed Duxford today en route to La Ferte Alais so it should be there by now to join the TFC Hawk 75.

The show was decent as always but marred by the weather. Saturday was sunny in the morning but then clouded up and rained for the last 4 hours of the show meaning some acts were cut short and some didn't even go up. Sunday was better but still only got the very very occasional glimpse of sunlight.

The French Navy set piece consisted of 2 Rafale, 2 Etendard, 1 Hawkeye and an MS Paris.
