"The aircraft subsequently veered off the runway.  No one was injured and the aircraft sustained minor damage.  As part of the investigation, the ATSB will interview the flight crew, obtain an engineering report and gather additional information."

VH-FGK is a regular visitor to CQ and Rockhampton in particular and to see it sitting rather forlornly in a paddock is a not nice.
