Lilydale crash
From 7 News Melbourne: A light plane has overshot the runway at Lilydale Airport, hitting an embankment before coming to a rest at Macintyre Lane.
Only what I saw on FB & photo is very hazy due wx - couldn't make out aircraft type apart from a twin.

Just saw this on FB:
UPDATE: A male pilot was able to walk from the damaged light plane after it overshot the runway at Yering.
He was treated by paramedics at the scene, and did not require transportation to hospital.

Clearly this pilot was not versed in Roger's (patent pending) Bonanza anti-lock breaking technique, no doubt required by all the rain Melbourne has had today.
Yep, that's the one. This aircraft certainly gets around or so my google search told me.
It was a little wet earlier this morning...

Weather issues notwithstanding, goodyear or cleveland brakes make a huge difference.
I used to fly two C310s and one was great, the other amazinly bad, went off rwy31 at old Brisbane airport once!
Worth the money to update if anyone has the first brand!

I've seen this done before and it seems pilots can have the same problems as drivers on a wet surface...lock the brakes and keep them locked instead of releasing and applying again.
Roger's a bit of an agriculturalists himself, I recall.

"Cessna 430"
"Missed the runway"
"attempted to hold down the breaks"
I mean come on Journos... On the bright side no one fatally or badly injured so we can sit around and nitpick the journalistic quality on it!
