As an after thought I'd just like to say this.
We provided a very professional response on this occasion as we do week in and week out to LHR.
Mercifully we not in fact required on most occasions but nevertheless we are there for you should the worst happen.
A such don't think it is particularly respectful to refer to the emergency services as buffoons.
If you read my initial post again you will see that the point was to recognise the skill of the flight crew, who from where I was standing, seemed to execute a flawless landing.
For my part I didn't intend to cause any offence and have apologised for any that I did inadvertently cause.
While clearly entitled to your view I find your comment offensive and deliberately so.
Next time I respond to the airport I shall remember that I am 'wasting my time'.
