Summary:

On roll out, after landing, the pilot made a rudder input to counter a crosswind gust. As he did so there was an immediate onset of a violent nosewheel shimmy which dissipated as the aircraft slowed to 20 kt. The shimmy appeared to have been caused by a foreign object becoming trapped between the nosewheel tyre and the wheel spat.
