The pilot experienced difficulties with radio communications during the flight and was forced to divert to Jersey due to poor weather at his intended destination of Guernsey. Port undercarriage collapsed on landing and the aircraft veered of the runway. It was determined that the aircraft had been unused for an extended period prior to the flight and that the landing gear pivot bearings were lacking in lubrication.
Nature of Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Left engine, left flap, left aileron and left main fuel tank". Although G-BGTT sustained only minor damage, it was not repaired on site. Instead, it was sold in its damaged state to a new owner in the United States. UK Registration G-BGTT was cancelled by the CAA on 14-02-2011 as "Transferred to another country or authority > UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"
By 18-09-2011, G-BGTT had been dismantled for transport, put into a shipping container, and shipped to the USA.
