I've found the Beverley incident at Matsapa; 29.06.63 Heavy Landing in the undershoot. Bounced off the escarpment and landed on the nosewheels first. 9G was recorded! After about a week on the ground it was decided to ferry the aircraft back to Eastleigh (it was a 30 Squadron aircraft). The aircraft was flown back via Salisbury. On arrival back at base, a gigantic crack was found in the tailplane spar! The tail could have come off at any moment.
