In a formation landing, the rear plane is supposed to touch-down first.. That didn't happen here and you see what happened...

Actually, in a perfect formation landing, both aircraft touch down at exactly the same time. It just usually doesn't work out that way!

"Precious Metal" is not the "real" Precious Metal, Gerry Beck built this A model from PLANS and it was painted like Precious Metal for filming the movie "Thunder over Reno".

Well, to be technically correct, the Buccarelli Griffon-powered Precious Metal isn't the "real" Precious Metal either!

Very sad, indeed!

Yeh, you are right.. The lead just usually gives the wing a pretty good cushion.. It doesn't look like that happened in the video's..

Ok.. You win..
