One Bump too Many

I was on duty that day, and watched XV181 doing circuit and bumps. Just as it was about to touch down it was caught by a gust of wind, and the starboard wing touched the ground, immediately catching fire. Fortunately the fire engines were standing by at the end of the runway, and were on it very quickly. All the crew escaped unhurt.
