Cessna 340 G-BALM at Leeds-Bradford airfield.
An Air Yorkshire newsletter stated that this aircraft was put back together and airtested at Leeds-Bradford airfield (by Northair) on 13th July 1984 and left for the Isle of Man on the same date. What had previously happened to the aircraft is not yet known to warrant it being put back together there.
On 24th July 1984 this aircraft was being returned to Leeds-Bradford airfield from Ronaldsway, Isle of Man for checks following an earlier repair. At 10.00hrs it ran off the runway at Leeds-Bradford which caused the starboard undercarriage to collapse and damage to the starboard wing, undercarriage and propeller. It was taken back into the Northair hanger for a repair and left again on 19th September 1984. An investigation found that the undercarriage leg had not locked in place prior to the landing but a warning light notifying the pilot of this had not illuminated. The aircraft was registered to Manro Transport Group, of Stalybridge, Cheshire.
Pilot - Name unknown.
