"Hog" in trouble at the Royal International Air Tattoo?

On July 19, 2011, Warthog News reader Jaak Stinkens from Belgium told me via e-mail: Hi Joachim, very shortly after the beginning of it's demo at RIAT FAIRFORD on saturday... it seems like white smoke (oil???) left the righthand engine of the hog, a couple of minutes later the jet landed safely at Fairford, and the show was over... What happened???

Question: Anyone who can/will tell us what really happened?
