Well, I'm posting this from underneath the wing of an F35, so I can say fairly confidently that it has made an appearance

Not in the flying display, though.

In any case, I think the show was truly awesome, despite the absence of the F-35, 787 (and A350) in the sky.

The moment with the Avro Vulcan was pretty special, the F-18 performance with the square loop was stunning and the show by the RAF Red Arrows was absolutely brilliant, too. But then there was the Harrier as well and the huge A380 doing maneuvers at such low altitude, which was quite impressive.

I agree, it is not possible to pick just one.

Agree. And don't forget the helicopter doing the backflip thingy !
