Experienced a total loss of fluid from the main hydraulic system, leading to the aircraft losing all secondary hydraulic functions (normal landing gear lowering, brakes as well as the auto pilot system). This caused severe degraded controllability as well as an inability to lower the landing gear fully (right hand main landing gear remained locked in the up position).
The Oryx executed an emergency landing on a farm, landing with the right hand landing gear on a stacked slate stone pile. Aircraft was repaired on site the next day.
