During short final approach, the aircraft encountered excessive sink and a sudden increase in crosswind. The aircraft subsequently bounced heavily on the runway threshold. The pilot then elected to go around and immediately applied full power. During the climb-out, he noticed that the wings appeared to be damaged inboard of the tip tanks. Both tanks were full at the time. The pilot decided to divert to Archerfield where the runway direction would better suit the prevailing wind. The aircraft was landed at Archerfield without further incident. Post flight examination of the aircraft confirmed significant damage to both wings.
