What happened
The incident involved a local training flight operating out of RAF Turnhouse. Following the initial touchdown, the aircraft began to swerve unexpectedly on the runway surface. The pilot was unable to regain control of the machine, leading to an overrun beyond the intended landing area. During this sequence, the airframe lost its undercarriage before finally coming to a complete stop. Both individuals aboard the aircraft escaped the event uninjured.
Findings
The primary issue identified in the sequence of events was the loss of directional control immediately after landing. This instability caused the aircraft to deviate from the runway centerline, resulting in the subsequent overrun and structural damage to the landing gear.
