Dragon Rapide Oops at Duxford
Rapide nose into the runway :
Just came across this on the Web. Hopefully nothing badly damaged and the beautiful old Rapide will soon be back in the air

This is the best one I've seen:

According to one witness, the plane, a de Havilland Dragon Rapide, ‘nose-dived or the front wheel failed on landing.’
After the incident, which occurred at a July airshow at Duxford Imperial War Museum in Cambridge, firefighters were spotted standing close to the jet.
