Previous thread----------
A few years back there was an AD calling for NDT inspection of the radius rod housing bodies for cracks on the J31/32 which if left unchecked could cause the radius rod to fail leaving the gear attached at the bearing housings but potentially not locked down, Seen one which failed in NZ and in that case the gear jammed against the wing skin at the outboard area of the gear bay preventing collapse but wonder in a strong cross wind if the same failure condition could cause the gear to collapse??, assuming the crack issue still remains and has not been modified out.

Linksair JS31 G-CCPW
Am new to PPRuNe but was one of two ground observers at Manx Aero Flyers Club when the incident happened.
It may help thread participants if they have a look at the photographs that we managed to take from approach, touch down and until the time G-CCPW came to rest on the grass. We have passed our photos to the aaib team and also made statements.
Please see discussion thread on North West Air News forum re Isle of Man thread on Jetstream G-CCPW Crash Landing .
Also see Aviation Herald article on
Accident: Linksair JS31 at Isle of Man on Mar 8th 2012, runway excursion, gear collapse which has been updated with new photos.

Once you look at that, there is not much more to add!

Find it strange that the controller on duty is making contributions to this forum! Also seems strange that the witness accounts from two aviation professionals could vary so much. Maybe it's just me.

Accident and event investigators, from the Police to AAIB know that to receive two such contrasting reports from witnesses with a similar viewpoint, is entirely usual. The reasons are well known and documented. and I won't take up space in here.
Interesting that Aviation Herald reported the first part of this thread, reporting that an a/c waiting departure advised the controller of the incident when - later on in the thread - the controller reported that the crash button had already been hit, before that message was tx'd.
