It was a good show but sadly i was there Friday where the weather forced the cancellation of the once in a lifetime RAF100 flypast and several other acts. I was there for photos but the afternoon white/grey sky made it fairly hard or disappointing.
I was tempted to go back Sunday but had a hard time justifying another £55 just for fun photos.
I enjoyed RNAS Yeovilton the week before a bit more. Smaller yes but good displays good weather AND they allow pyrotechnics (the Commando assault demo was fantastic).
The F-35 was disappointing but then again its a heavy, overweight dog of a plane so wasn't expecting a huge amount. Solo Turk was excellent amongst others.
Some photos from it are here:-
RIAT 2018
Not the best due to weather being fairly terrible after 1pm.
As for the MQ-9B drone. It flew in the day before under civilian callsign N190TC. It took 3 months of planning to get NOTAM and temporary airspace restrictions set up as they're not allowed to fly inside anywhere inside the UK FIR or controlled airspace. Arrived 2 hours early and killed time circling a small village (bet that creeped out the occupants !). It was then repainted into RAF colours overnight. And is going back to Dakota as cargo because its way too much of a logistical nightmare to get it to fly out of the UK.
