Narrative:
Zlin 526F Trener Master G-EHZT: Substantially damaged in a wheel-up landing at Boston, Lincolnshire 14 April 2024. The incident was the subject of an AAIN Correspondence-only investigation, and the following is the summary from the AAIB report:

"The pilot intended to cycle and then lower the landing gear whilst downwind to land at Boston Aerodrome, but inadvertently left the gear up. The aircraft landed wheels up, damaging the propeller and shock loading the engine".

The same aircraft had been previously involved in an incident at Seething, Norfolk on 7 May 2016 (see link #6 and separate ASN entry)

The AAIB Report refers to the location of this incident as "Boston Aerodrome" [sic]. Boston Civil aerodrome is also known as BOARDSIDES, WYBERTON and WYBERTON FEN and is now known as BOSTON AERO PARK. The airfield is located North of A1121 and roughly 1.5 nautical miles West of Boston.
