Incident at YPAD on Saturday night

From the Adelaide Advertiser today:

A regulatory report is expected to be completed over the heavy landing of a light plane at Adelaide Airport on Saturday night.
The pilot and a passenger were lucky to escape uninjured when the undercarriage of the twin engine plane collapsed upon landing just before 11PM.
Emergency services responded and a forklift was used to remove the plane from the tarmac.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is not investigating but the Civil Aviation Safety Authority is expected to complete a regulatory report.
Anyone know any more about this?

Hmmm, I didn't know they had a Navajo. Only two aircraft listed under their name in the Aircraft Register is VH-LWO (BE20) & VH-VAT (PC12)
