I've received the following from the operator of the Heron:

quote

Left mainwheel sank into soft ground while taxiing for take-off.

Both left propellers show evidence of contact with the ground.

1. Further damage may become apparent when mud is washed away and detailed examination begins.

2. All further flights are cancelled for this season.

Fortunately no injuries. Let's hope the aeroplane can be repaired soon.
