I'm not a professional pilot by any means, and I was impressed at the spirited departure and wingover later on in the display.

I have a question though - on take off the pilot does a 180 degree right hand turn. At 90 degrees to the runway it looks like the Vulcan isn't climbing too fast and there is a load of side slip (?). Is this a manoeuvre where the aircraft is stable and climbing or is the pilot just trying to maintain a stable attitude and turn and once he levels out brings the gear up and continues with the display?
