Probably setting myself up for a sound kicking, only ever having flown military single- and twin-jets, but to me it seems that in pretty horrendous conditions with a howling crosswind and in an aircraft that can be a bit of a handful (not to mention having x hundred pax down the back), it was pretty ropey airmanship to continue the approach in the first place. Having done so and bashed the wingtip on the ground in the process, surely one’s reaction should be: climb to a safe height, low speed handling check and then head for the nearest piece of into-wind concrete over 6,000’ long. The last thing you'd do would be to have another go at the same runway. In days of yore, even if it was the most junior JP on the squadron who’d done something like this, he’d have been taken behind the bike sheds for a good duffing by his flight commander for a gross act of press-on-itis.
