King Air wheels up?

Hi guys,

Anyone know anything about a reported 'wheels up' landing to King Air B200 D2-ERK of Air Gemini, reportedly happened 'about a month ago.'

D2-ERK suffered a "gear collapse" whilst on the hardstand at LDA, no spectacular gear up landing Im afraid,just some poor techie that fiddled with the wrong lever at the wrong time. Damage is substantial, due to the fact that when the local guys hoisted the aircraft back up, the correct procedure was not followed, causing the majority of the structural damage.
