I think this has all been addressed somewhere earlier in this thread but neither of those reports cover two salient issues:
1. There was turbulence from the hangars when the wind was from a certain direction which caused the co-pilot to loose speed late on finals and land heavy and short.
2. There was an 18 inch lip on the end of the runway so as the aircraft rolled forward after the initial impact one main undercarriage leg (starboard I think) was ripped off. The aircraft then bounced heavily on the other leg which punctured fuel tanks and started a fire. By this time the Captain had full power on.
I’m not sure about the nose leg buckling and causing the door to jam. I don’t think it touched the ground but:
With 7 aboard plus luggage there was little room in the cabin to stow the ladder and it was speculated that it had been left on the door which impeded exit for the rear crew. Whether the pilots ejected or “were” ejected when the aircraft broke up was not, I think, determined.
