Hurricane loses wheel while landing

Nevermind, found the info.

Looked like a welded brake.

That tire was flat before landing and the resultant "extra braking" from the flat tire that was likely binding before it departed caused the nose over.

I'm taking a stab that the pilot heard the tire let go during flight and declared an emergency knowing that the big boom likely meant something was very wrong.

Looks so yes, it is clearly shown on touchdown that something is wrong with the right tyre and that it is flat. Pilot did a good job, very smooth touchdown.

I could be wrong but to me (looking at the closest blade to the camera) it looked like the blades were wood. Nowadays many warbirds use wooden "replicas" of the original blades because of situations like this. Wooden blades are much easier on the engine in an event of a prop strike.

I say metal blades, the tips looks like they are bent backwards.

I say metal blades, the tips looks like they are bent backwards.

I thought the same at first, then it looked like wood chips in the tip of the closest blade (could be artifacts in the video though). It is IMO hard to tell whether the blades are bent or broken backwards.

But as I said I could be wrong.

In US civil aviation it would be; any sudden stoppage the crankshaft has to be dye pen/magnaflux inspected, propellor flange runout checked, that kinda thing.

There was not a sudden stoppage.  It was a light ground strike.  Now considering whose aircraft it is, it's very likely it will go through an inspection.
