Narrative:
During the landing roll, there was a crosswind from the right at approximately 10 knots. Following a ground roll of about 300 metres, the pilot decided to retract the flaps before commencing braking. Because of the crosswind, he was looking ahead to maintain directional control and inadvertently retracted the landing gear. The aircraft slid on its undercarriage for a further 300 metres.
