I watched and listened to the whole event, it was superb professionalism from everyone involved, the ATC Controller, Vulcan Crew, "Battle 1" and the other display teams already airborne and keeping out of the way, and even changing callsigns so as to avoid confusion.

It does annoy me though when you see the headline "Vulcan in Emergency Landing at Prestwick", as far as I,m concerned it was a normal landing at a location they were planned to land at, that is after sorting out an issue with the nose leg of the aircraft using an approved procedure.

The nice aerodynamic landing made for some very nice shots as well guys, thanks.
