It's taken me a while, just like it did last year. But here we are again, 2018 was an absolutely cracking year in my opinion! Great weather, great aircraft and some fantastic shots 
This thread will be purely for the show days, as my static thread went down very well, I will then post departure shots later. Friday was initially dark and gloomy with some rain, but Saturday and Sunday were much better. Hopefully, there aren't too many shots, so enjoy! 
(P.S - I have aimed to create a variety, and I know I haven't covered some brilliant acts - simply to keep the post size down, click on any photo to be directed to my RIAT Album, and have a further look)Friday
