Substantially damaged 13-3-1991 when undercarriage collapsed on landing at Biggin Hill. No injuries sustained to the three crew members on board. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"Following a reportedly normal approach and touchdown on Runway 21 at Biggin Hill, during the roll out, the aircraft began to sink and settle to starboard allowing the right propeller to strike the ground. The King Air came to rest on the runway to the right of the centre line. It was subsequently determined that the right undercarriage had collapsed and the left had partially collapsed during the roll out. The accident happened in daylight (13:05 Local Time) and in VMC - CAVOK conditions. The aircraft was positioning to Biggin Hill from Stansted to collect passengers."
