The pilot selected the gear for landing, observed that the single DOWN AND LOCKED light illuminated and visually checked that the landing gear was extended. On touchdown, the main landing gear folded rearwards and the aircraft came to rest with the nose landing gear extended. The green down and locked light remained illuminated. An engineering examination found that both main landing gear down and locked magnetic proximity switches were ‘stuck’ in their down and locked positions due to a lack of lubrication and weak return springs.
