I think this may be the one from RIAT (Fairford - UK) a few years ago, the
pilot had been doing a steep ground fire avoidance approach (not the right
technical term) demonstration and was just a little late/heavy with the
flare, bounced up again and over corrected hitting with the nosewheel first
on the next touchdown, the airshow was delayed a short time for recovery
from the runway and the Italians had a replacement fly in overnight ready
for the Sunday display.
