Narrative:
A taxiing Yak-52 lost brakes and ran into a Piper PA-46-500TP Malibu Meridian, ZS-TAY. The propeller broke and the nose gear embedded itself int he Meridians right hand wing, causing a fuel spill.
No-one was hurt, and luckily the Jet A1 did not catch fire. The Meridian's wing was badly damaged.
The very same aircraft had previously sustained an accident, at the very same airfield, on March 27 2010, when the main gear collapsed on landing and veered off the runway onto the grass.
