Just found this video on another site of the Mustang "Miss Helen" hitting Duxford's 'bump' and almost having a nasty.

This bump has also caught out Sally B as well



SCARY!

Sally B rode it a bit better!

Seen a few come a cropper on the bump, over the years

where does the IWM stand if the `Duxfrod bump` catches out an unwary pilot and wrecks his plane............

Sorry Cluny, I missed that!

I don't think Duxford would be held responsible in any way as that bump is before the threshold, therefore it would be put down as pilot error for not touching down on the "correct spot".... I would presume.
