Circumstances:
The crew departed East Midlands Airport on a night cargo flight to Exeter on behalf of the Royal Mail. For unknown reasons, the aircraft landed hard at Exeter Airport runway 29. The crew was able to vacate the runway and park the aircraft on apron where major damages to the fuselage were noted. Due to the extent of damages, the cargo could not be unloaded. The aircraft seems to be damaged beyond repair.
