But, as alluded to above, this was far from a smooth, problem-free Legends. Sunday was marred by a number of incidents, aside from the accidental coming together of one of the Skyraiders and "Big Beautiful Doll", there was another very near miss right at the start of the display, when iconic Spitfire LF IXc MH434 on final approach was very nearly hit from behind by another of the French-based Skyraiders, who was subsequently told to abort the display. Another problem was when the Royal Navy Historic Flight Sea Fury ran in to display too soon, and had to pull out, as another two Sea Furies were still displaying. The Nieuport replica ground-looped without damage, and Spitfire Vb EP120 was reported to have swung significantly on take-off.
