Default Hard Avro landing video?

Ok, someone posted a video of a super hard landing in an Avro (I think it was in a thread talking about landings). For the life of me, I can't find that thread (been searching for 2 days) or the video... anyone remember what I'm talking about?

Thanks.... I guess I shouldn't use the built in forum search, rather the google search in the upper left? Appreciate your 30 seconds of work!

no problem! Actually, I just went to youtube and typed in a couple of relevant search terms like: Avro and LCY, and voila!

Google-fu just has a better ring to it than 'youtube-fu'.

Wait, that's a bad landing? I guess that explains all those comments I keep getting at the gate...

Haha wow! I think I have read about this landing though, a couple like that actually in London City involving the Avro's. Supposedly one was taken off on a barge to be repaired? Either way good advertising for the landing gear hah.

Good Grief, that brings back memories!

I am pretty sure I had a landing in BHM that would have looked very similar to that. The Avro had/has VERY stout trailing link mains. The nose not so much, by the looks of it she might have had some damage from the pounding the nose gear took.

Outstanding video.
