From an Ardmore source:

"nz herald fail...."ran off the end of the runway when it landed at 11.50am today, damaging the propeller and its undercarriage"

I dont think it could be more in the middle of the runway if it tried.

the story goes landing in a tail wind (unicom hadnt changed the runway yet)
compensation of xwind cliped the wing on the ground, bounced, undercarriage collapsed, lost a bit of control sidded off onto the centre grass ended up stopping 400m down."

Seriously though, is he gonna keep trying til he writes this thing off for good???
