Is there also one Lynx present, and the NH-90?

A Russian ship will also attend.
It is called the RFS Kaliningrad, it is some kind of large landing craft, no helicopters.

At least an Apache.... And if the second NH-90 makes it in time (should arrive at de Kooy today, but it's broken right now), you never know.

Sounds like it is becoming a habit for the NH90 to break down. The N-088 had to undergo extensive repair after arrival at de Kooy, Italian engineers had to come to Den Helder to help out.

Let's hope the ill fated machine will attend the navy days.

Well, on its way for its first appearance at EHKD it also broke down, and at its way back to Italy they had to replace an engine in France. Let's drop it and buy Merlins . BTW the machine is repaired and is expected at EHKD tomorrow July 8, according to sh14d at de Kooy forum.
