Quite so P-N. I never much relished the thought of stooging around at low level without an ejector seat, so was quite happy with my posting to tankers after Lindholme.

The Vulcan accident you describe bears a remarkable similarity to the loss of Victor SR2 XL 230 on 10 May 73. I could never understand the point of practising rollers after an assymetric approach and landing and was very pleased when they were banned soon after these incidents. Two crews lost needlessly IMOH.
