The pilot reported that before landing he had obtained the appropriate cockpit indications that the landing gear was locked down. However, the nose gear collapsed during the landing roll. The main landing gear also collapsed after the aircraft had been inspected and was being moved. Subsequent examination and testing of the landing gear system failed to identify any fault.
