I was passing Hurn airport ( sorry, Bournemouth International Airport) and saw a light aircraft in the grass surrounded by emergency vehicles. The plane was on its right wing, it looked like the right hand undercarriage failed to deploy.
Does anyone know any details?

Not a major incident.

It looks like the pilot did a good job in getting it down without too much damage.

The pilot was obviously thinking ahead as he switched his engines off on touchdown to prevent too much damage.
