Was just leaving Kemble this morning, spotted black and yellow JP on approach. As he got lower I saw no sign of gear extension, he dissapeared below horizon at which point I pulled over to see what was going to happen.
After a while it came skidding over the horizon. No visible fire/flames but a definite gear up landing. Emergency guys were foaming the area within seconds, R22 helicopter at the field also made its way over almost immediately but soon returned to the training it was doing when the emergency guys started foaming.
Still on runway when I left at 10.30am.

Edit @ 11.40: Having a look on kemblecam I can only see one of the emergency vehicles left on the runway. Assuming the JP has been moved now. Looked like a good job by all concerned whatever the cirumstances.
