Narrative:The pilot reported that, after departure, he heard a “high pitched whistling sound” coming from the crew door. He diagnosed that it came from the external handle not sitting flush, although the door was securely closed. The pilot elected to return to the airfield to restow the handle. As the aircraft approached the flare it experienced what the pilot described as a “strong windshear/downdraft” which resulted in a heavy landing on the nosewheel and right main landing gear. The heavy landing caused the right propeller to strike the ground and the right wing failed adjacent to the engine cowling.
