I once sat at the hold at a small airfield (old WW2 base, crumbly runways, but not that tricky) watching a guy in a C150 appearing at first to do jolly well with the horrid crosswind, only to bounce, do some PIOs, wheelbarrow, and end up on his nose. Ouch. Going around from the flare (or even later) can still be a good idea, as I reminded myself yesterday whilst leaping and bounding along the runway at Compton Abbas.
