I believe the incident was at RAF Coningsby, home of 17 & 29 squadrons

It sure looks like he slammed her nose into the ground at speed. Would it have caused more damage if he had slowed her up first ? Maybe it would have dropped even harder......I just think of those F-15 drivers that hold the nose up until they are almost stopped moving....
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

Long Live the Commonwealth !!!
Vive les Canadiens !
Where's my beer ?

One question. Why didn't the pilot put it down on the grass???
