Bounced on landing, overshot & undercarriage leg jammed up, abandoned.
The aircraft bounced on landing at Coningsby on return from a training sortie. On going around the circuit again, the crew were unable to lock the port undercarriage leg down. The aircraft was abandoned near Horncastle at 2345hrs & crashed 0.5 miles north of Winceby. Glazed ice on the windscreen was a factor in the initial landing problem.
Pilot Sgt GK Carter and crew baled out without injury.
