Does "calling at" mean "routing via" or "landing/rolling at"??

From BBC News24 just now:

"Vulcan Falklands veteran to be on the flight deck this afternoon". Is Martin Withers taking the helm???

Well done Auntie Beeb for some good coverage, especially for allowing XH558 to be heard without any talking during the line-up and take-off.

Apparently they will cover the landing at Brunty also

Top marks to the BBC for sticking with it despite the pause at the hold.
They even keep mentioning it on the weather.

Great Stuff!
I was hoping that (amongst other things) the commentator would be quiet for the Vulcan take off - and he was and it sounded and looked great! Thanks to everyone who made it happen and to the BEEB for covering it so comprehensively - even the weather chap on BBC News 24 mentioned it.
