Circumstances:
The aircraft was completing a cargo flight with various equipments on behalf of the Conader, the Commission Nationale de Désarmement et de Réinsertion. Following an uneventful flight, the crew started the approach in heavy rain falls. After landing on a wet runway, the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance and overran. It lost its undercarriage and came to rest in marshy field. All three occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. Aquaplaning suspected.
