Summary
When the landing gear was lowered in the circuit normal down and locked indications were obtained. During the landing roll the right main gear collapsed. Investigation revealed that a damaged "O" ring in the right downlock actuator had allowed hydraulic pressure to be lost, causing the right gear to unlock and collapse. The actuators are "on-condition" items.
