Most recently, with a bird warning for the airfield, having hit said birds close to landing, attempted a Go Around at which point both engines not suprisingly said no thanks, the aircraft missed the runway initially but after a hard bounce, as luck would have it, ended up on the runway with the gear through the wing. Another evacuation followed.
errrr ...have I missed something at BRS??????

ended up on runway with gear through wing .

Well if it missed the runway the paddies would still be digging it out of the grass, and with the gear through the wing the local press would have had a field day (no pun intended)

I'm sure the regular contributors to this thread would have had something to say about this incident
