Narrative:

Instruction was being conducted. The 'student' was a CFI candidate with over 4000 hours T.T. And an ATP. Pattern operations were being conducted and we were performing touch and goes when the incident occurred. The last pattern was performed as normal. I placed the gear down abeam the tower, the 'student' confirmed green light. We both believe to the best of our knowledge that the gear was down. The tower controller gave a written statement that the gear appeared down on right base. Before touchdown the aircraft ballooned up slightly. The aircraft appears to have touched down gear up. Neither of us brought the gear handle up. It was going to be a full stop landing. The approach and speed appeared normal and we never heard a gear warning horn. There were no injuries, and minor damage was received to the belly of the aircraft. After exiting the aircraft the gear was observed partially extended.
