Airbus

Vertical stab does make large movements, but nothing drastic. Was he not on centerline?

I need to search and see if MSNBC has their video. He looked left of center with noticable left yaw...But I may be off base on exactly where he was laterally on the runway.

AIRBUS A380 TO FLY OVER DERBY IN TRIBUTE TO ROLLS-ROYCE

An Airbus A380, powered by four of our Trent 900 engines, is due to make a low level pass over the Derby facilities on Monday 26th March. This has been arranged by Airbus as a tribute and thank you to Rolls-Royce employees.

This is a rare opportunity to see the A380 flying in all its glory, and to see the Trent 900 engines in action. Rolls-Royce Chief Test Pilot Phill O'Dell will be at the controls of the A380 as it does a low approach over East Midlands Airport, and then completes a fly past of our Derby facilities.

Hard to tell in these videos. He might not have been centerline. Does not look like anything was too out of the ordinary though, atleast in these videos.

Yeah I didn't see to much wrong with the landing, a little rudder perhaps just before the touchdown but other than that, nothing much from what I could see.

Thought you might enjoy these. Some of the schematics are interesting in and of themselves.
