Many years ago. Gusting crosswind, which dumped the port wing lower than intended just as aileron effectiveness was lost. The result was the outboard aileron hinge scraping along the runway, until enough speed was lost to allow the aircraft back onto its wheels again. I'm told that from the outside it looked quite spectacular.
