Mr Horgy,
Something doesn't quite add up. If you were being followed in by a turboprop, then that would have been a UK vortex SMALL or LIGHT. Your big ole 738 is MEDIUM therefore there should have been 4 or 6 miles between you when you touched down. But if that TP was so close that you stopping on the runway meant squeaky bum time for the controller (and cue a load of earache), perhaps he should have been using the time to give number 2 a goaround due to loss of vortex separation.

ADIS you mustn't have been at Aberdeen long if you've only given avoiding action once south of the CTA!
