Narrative:
Lambert Aircraft Mission M108, G-CLDA, David Ronald Ho & Christine Anne Ho (registered owners): Substantially damaged on 20 April 2025 in a landing accident at Sleap Airfield, Harmer Hill, Shrewsbury, Shropshire. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only Investigation, and the following is the summary from the AAIB Report:

"The pilot reported there was excessive nose wheel shimmy during the landing roll, before the nose wheel assembly detached from the landing gear leg. The resulting pitch down meant the propellers struck the ground, causing the engine to stop".

Damage Sustained to Airframe
Per the AAIB Report "nose wheel assembly detached from the landing gear leg, propellers struck the ground".
