Summary:

After a local flight of approximately one and a half hours duration, the pilot made a normal approach to land on Runway 34 at Pound Green Airstrip. The weather conditions were good. The aircraft landed heavily causing the landing gear to collapse, which resulted in damage to the engine cowling, wheel spats and propeller. The pilot, who was uninjured, candidly reported that he had misjudged the round out.
