I believe I saw the G222 at RIAT grind it's nose into the main runway
I was in the crowd when it happened and darn near messed me pants as for an instant I thought it was going to veer into the crowd
. Had me in mind of the Buffalo crash at Farnborough - the Giat's spar is obviously made of sterner stuff.
Red faces all around - I never did hear what happened to the crew in question. It was semi-amusing to see RIAT's attempts to keep some semblance of a flying display going after it happened - Hercs being diverted in from Lyneham for a solitary fly-past etc.
