Narrative:

Upon departure of flight at about 500 ft AGL after gear was retracted we experienced hydraulic failure loss of pressure and fluid. I had to request to return for landing. After hand pumping gear and flaps down we landed on runway 27 with crash fire rescue equipment on site in case gear did not lock down. No injury or damage done.
