Ton 19-12-2009, the aircraft was landing on Runway 05 at Sandown, Isle of Wight. The reported wind was 7 knots from a direction of 315 degrees. The aircraft travelled approximately halfway along the runway before touching down. It then bounced before touching down again, whereupon the nose wheel sank into the grass runway surface.
The nose wheel detached and the nose landing gear leg dug into the ground, causing the aircraft to tip over. The pilot considered that the accident was caused by two factors; the tailwind component and a soft runway surface. He also considered that he should have applied full power after the initial touchdown and gone around.
Nature of Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Damage to nosewheel, rear fuselage, tailplane, windscreen, engine cowling and propeller"
