Departure and Pre-existing Issues
The aircraft departed on a ferry flight with the landing gear clamped in the down position and a leaking fuel system, both resulting from a previous accident.
Arrival and Left Engine Failure
The flight proceeded without incident until arrival at the destination airport. While on the downwind leg of the traffic pattern, the left engine failed. The left engine propeller was not feathered. Post-incident examination revealed that the left main fuel tank and auxiliary fuel tank were both empty.
Right Engine Failure and Final Approach
The pilot then selected 45 degrees of flap. Subsequently, the right engine failed. The right engine propeller was also not feathered. The right main fuel tank was found empty, but the auxiliary tank was found full.
Ground Strike and Damage
The aircraft struck the ground short of the runway. The impact caused the landing gear to shear off, and the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
