When the undercarriage was selected to the "down" position, the amber light came on, but the green light for the left main undercarriage failed to glow. The undercarriage was then retracted and extended twice by means of the normal operating system but the green light remained out. A landing was made, and while the aircraft was being taxied to the right, off the live runway, the left main undercarriage collapsed.
The emergency system for lowering the undercarriage, which could have brought it into the "second lock position", was not used.
Apparent Cause : Failed to extend undercarriage.
