A flypast of the control tower at nearby RAF St Mawgan, for a visual check, confirmed that the nose gear was still retracted and the doors closed. The pilot safely carried out an emergency landing at RAF St Mawgan, with the aircraft coming to a halt on its nose, causing damage to nose, nose landing gear doors and propellers.
