Thursday dawned rather grey compared to Wednesday. Again it was a slightly slow day with arrivals coming in fits and bursts. There were plenty of rehearsals too with the Swiss and Finnish F/A-18s, RAF Typhoon as well as the Hungarian Gripen providing the fast jet action. There were a number of arrivals relating to the Fly Navy 100 theme with the Black Cats rehearsing. RIAT also showed off the latest nation to participate at the event with the arrival of a Algerian C-130H Hercules in a smart camoflage scheme. Also catching the attention were the Brazilian C-105 Amazonas, the Dutch Air Force demo F-16 and another one of their compatriots. Towards the end of Thursday, the rain set in for the evening with some very heavy showers that were reminisent of 2008! Keep upto to date with our live text feed!
