Narrative:
Red Arrow No.6 suffered a bird strike at the end of the Saturday show. The aircraft landed safely, although the aircraft sustained damage to the nose. The Angle of the pitot probe would suggest that although the damage to the external skin of the nose was minor, the internal damage (not visible from the outside) was much more serious. See the picture below.
