Narrative:Touched down far down the runway and swerved to the right when the left brake failed. It crossed a drainage ditch and came to rest with serious damage to the nose gear, propellers and both wings. Although intentions to repair the aircraft were reported at the time, the aircraft lay derelict for some time and was later broken up.
