Vans RV-4 G-INTS sustained minor damage when the undercarriage collapsed on landing at Lydd Airport, Romney Marsh, Kent.
After landing, the right main landing gear collapsed. The aircraft had ground-looped on its previous landing and it was possible that this damaged the landing gear making it more likely that the undercarriage would collapse.
Vans RV-4 G-INTS was built in 2007 (although first UK registered 17.5.2006, presumably while still under construction) and has had only three UK-registered owners "from new"
