Duxford incident-Wednesday 2nd August
I watched what looked like a twin engined vintage taildragger carrying visitor passengers land in a crosswind on Wednesday am 2nd August. Unfortunately, a slight bounce then became a porpoise and then it appeared that this was followed by a prop strike judging by the debris that was flying about.
Anybody know what damage was caused to the aircraft? Fortunately, the passengers disembarked apparently without injury.

AerBabe, you are exactly right, it was a Dragon Rapide. I don't think it will be flying again in the near future though! It could be that the incident looked worse than it was mind!
