Just a small moan.
We actually saw the engineer close the door prior to departure: no body would have missed the shots of the 1st & 2nd test pilots in their bone domes waving to the on lookers - Airanauts to a tee. (Echo's of a wave to the camera' by one L . Beleriot my sub concious clicks)
What makes a test pilot ? hardly a Brucie's play your cards right: sort of question that was answered properly before & after the landing.
As a minority of one, I actually enjoyed the spirit of the coverage a lot - better English than a BBC attempt too.
And as a last nudge - the enthusiasm of that CAT III Shaped bloke from RR called to the photo-call made my day. ("the engines performed perfectly" )
(Edit: credit to Tofeeze for his/hers post - from Mike, I agree with your perspective of a bit of history being made.)
