VH-LDQ has been parked like this at Gunnedah since August 2020 when the left undercarriage collapsed after it hit a hole on the runway. The runway had been closed for works and the pilot had failed to check the NOTAMs before his flight . There was a white cross near the windsock to say the airport was closed but there were no unserviceability markings on the runway itself. Works staff were unaware of a need for these markings.
