Looks like well-executed gear up into a field with minimal damage

I do like the photo in the ASN post! Very kiwi.

A caption from the pilot’s lips is almost discernible: “Bu@@er!”

Certainly a very tidy aeroplane, hope the damage is very light – wonder if it was flapless landing?

Overhauled and returned to service (with fresh delivery paint scheme) only last year.
