FAS: Red Arrows...#4 Go-Around...why?

On the final Public Day, on Sunday, when the Red Arrows arrived about 1/4 way through the show...during the flypast then overhead-break then landing... #4 (or #3?) went around. Unfortunately, the ol' digital cam needed a battery change right then, so I happened to look away for a second. I did see him on short-short-finals, then doing the go-around. I just missed why he went around. He seemed in good position for landing, and the spacing looked fine from where I was watching from (adjacent to the VASI's).

No speculation, please...did anyone SEE why he went around? (His second landing was spot on, though!).

FABULOUS show, guys!!
