This year! But the lads from RAF Crash and Smash managed to get their kit from their stand to the runway and have the job done in about 3 hours, very impressive.
Bascially the cause of the crash was the pilot flaring to late causing a very hard landing and large bounce, the second impact from the bounce was all the nosewheel could take and it collapsed.
