Five aboard OK. Aircraft went into a hangar when control was lost on landing.

All 5 people aboard were pilots? Imagine the conversation afterwards…

Yes very odd. Application of left rudder.

Steered it off the runway & into the hangar… What the hell was he thinking?

alternatively get the tail down and get on the brakes !!

Rudders appear to go hard left as people have stated above
By: Arabella-Cox - 2nd July 2018 at 13:03
Does it look as though the rudder locks over hard left just before the swing? Prior to that there was usual movement both ways to keep straight.

Shame about the aeroplane and the hangar, but that video appears to be a good demonstration of the P-factor at work. Probably in combination with a bit of crosswind.
(Edited: wind appears to have been from the East during most of the day, but with some gusts and varying direction. Landing on RW03 it would have been from the right. Disclaimer: my attempt at landing most likely wouldn’t have been any prettier! :p)
(Edited again: looking at the video again, the rudder appears to be full left as the tail comes down. Perhaps the pilot got his engines or his feet mixed up.)

A ‘Lockheed error’ – doncha luv google translate!

It shows the end of the landing roll I’m afraid. Correcting the translation above:
The group had just landed at the airport in Zwartberg, when a gust of wind pushed the aircraft towards the hangar. The nose went through the doors and the damage is substantial, but everyone remained unharmed.

Google translated it. Sort of.
GENK – A pilot and his four fellow passengers were released on Sunday evening with the scare after landing with an eighty-year Lockheed error. The group had just landed at the airport in Zwartberg, when a gust of wind blew the device towards hangar. The nose went through the gate and the damage is great, but everyone remained unharmed.
The five friends, all pilots, had been on Sunday to a plane show in the Bruges Ursel when they flew home in the evening and would land at Zwartberg airport. The terrace …

Oh dear! NC14999. Not being able to translate, does the photo indicate the end of the landing sequence or the attempt to ‘squeeze’ it into the hangar?!
