This aircraft was damaged on landing from a training flight. The aircraft bounced, but due to a slightly smeary windscreen, the pilot was unable to assess the extent of the bounce, and touched down hard, causing the aircraft to bounce again. On touching down heavily from the second bounce the undercarriage collapsed.
Pilot F/O LO Halls and crew were uninjured.
