I watched one similar size at Brunty, it started it’s display turned back towards their controller and kept going never to be seen again, closely followed by their Tranny van off to find it.

Sadly, the video ended before we could see whether the pilot walked away from it ...

A bit late on the round-out again, Hoskins...

PS - thanks for posting the link!

Bloody impressive model and, apart from the flare, some good flying. As the aircraft was grinding its nose along the runway, a could almost hear the pilot thinking “Please stop, please stop, please stop.”

Excellent! The only things missing were drip trays!

Now if they'd have painted it up as XS903 instead of 904, with LTF fin markings, they could have said they were trying to recreate '903's nose wheel up landing at Coningsby in '79 :E

I don’t see a pilot - can someone check if it’s the original ejection seat?

(full marks if you get the reference)

More downsizing of the RAF?

What round-out? ;)

Strangely reminiscent of an ex mucker of mine who did exactly that to his JP3A at CF on his second solo (although his bounces were much more impressive than the one in the video and it took nearly a year to fix his aircraft). Then he got a posting - to Binbrook, lucky chap!
