Another excellent day at RIAT yesterday with some interesting weather thrown into the mix particularly when the Spanish Navy AV-8B displayed in the middle of an extremely heavy down pour with a very interesting hover landing, definitely heart in the mouth moment.

Crikey!
One of the many stars of the show very nicely captured in desperate conditions.
Thanks for sharing them

That last photo is a corker. If there was ever a photo example of why aircraft can't display in adverse weather, that is it.
