The Hawker-Siddely HS-748, C-FTTW, was beginning its take-off roll when it began to drift to the right. The crew attempted to correct for the drift but were unsuccessful. The pilot aborted the take-off while still at slow speed and, as the aircraft was coming to a stop near the edge of the runway, the nose gear collapsed rearward. The nose of the aircraft and the propellers contacted the runway surface, causing substantial damage. The crew was not injured. Weather was not a factor; the runway surface condition was good.
Initial indications are that the main trunnion pin holding the nose gear assembly in place moved partially out of position.
