Narrative:
The privately-owned Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche aircraft was on a VFR flight from a private strip near Delhi, ON (one (1)NM north) to Toronto (Buttonville) Municipal Airport (CYKZ). On approach into Toronto (Buttonville) Municipal Airport, the pilot could not get the landing gear to extend so elected to return to Delhi to land on the grass strip. The pilot attempted a manual landing gear extension, however, this was unsuccessful. The aircraft landed with all of the landing gear retracted and suffered damage to the aircraft skin and both propellers. Both occupants were uninjured. An initial inspection by an AME revealed that one of the push-pull cables had seized.
