The flying instructor was conducting dual training for the issue of a retractable undercarriage endorsement. During a touch and go, before takeoff power was reapplied, the student momentarily selected the landing gear up while the aircraft was rolling at about 30 knots on the runway. The nose wheel managed to retract, the propeller struck the runway and the nose landing gear doors were damaged. The aircraft came to rest on the runway. During the landing roll the instructor retracted the flaps and opened the engine cowl flaps. He saw the student move to select the gear up but before being able to prevent it, the student had moved the selector to 'up', realised his mistake and immediately selected 'down' again.
