Cessna 404 Runway over run
NT News reporting today that a Cessna Titan over run the runway at Melville on Friday whilst landing. No injuries to the pilot who was the sole occupant.

One of H.A's 404 Titans. Looks like HNM rego from a distant photo. Over ran what looks like RW 04 at Garden Point (1315m). Lots of rain yesterday. The damage to aircraft looks bad. Nose wheel collapsed / 2 bent props and lots of ripples under nose locker and cabin fire wall. Sorry I don't have the photos.

Garden Point. Aircraft may have a big "H" on the tail. Apparently missing nose gear. Frequent missed approaches on the RNAVs into BTI/GPT/SNB that day, rather shoddy conditions - can't say whether this was a contributing factor to the overrun or not.

Thanks for that ZB.
My memory of Garden Point is that there was always a cross-wind with wind shear on short final. Always found it hard to do a good landing there but perhaps that was just me.
