The a/c was substantially damaged, with no injurioes to the pilot or passengers. On landing the a/c was fast and made several bounces with loss of control after the third contact with runway. A classic ground loop occurred causing the a/c to vacate the runway. Skid marks indicated heavy use of the right brake and eventually the right landing gear collapsed. When the right landing gear collapsed the right lower wing contacted the ground, causing extensive internal damage to lower wing spars. Also, damage toi the upper wing occurred and the possibility of cracks to the upper wing spar.
