The Vulcan display on Saturday was very exciting as it broke the rules and apparently got a yellow card.
Actually, what happened was that another pilot, a Display Authorisation Evaluator, saw the take-off manoeuvre, and spoke to the Vulcan captain later about it.
The Vulcan captain then went, off his own bat, to see if the Flying Control Committee had any problems with it. After much consulting of rule books, the FCC decided that no rules had been broken. So, no yellow card.
I understand, though, that at least two other popular displays did get yellow cards!
