I see woodgates G-NIAA Beech B200 super king has been involved with what looks like a landing gear fault. From what I can gather it departed BHX and returned due to a fault in the video it looks like the main gear isn't locked down correctly .

QuoteWoodgate Aviation can confirm that one of its Beechcraft fixed-wing aircraft was involved in an emergency landing at Birmingham Airport earlier today.

The turbo-prop aircraft was on a repositioning flight to Belfast International Airport when it developed landing gear problems. The aircraft returned to Birmingham and made an emergency landing and the main under-carriage collapsed on touch down.

Two crew members and a passenger were on board but were uninjured.

The aircraft has been removed from the runway and we will be co-operating fully with Air Accident investigators and airport services.

We would like to pay tribute to the professionalism of our colleagues and the emergency services at the airport for their prompt action.

That's a nice succinct statement from them.
