The aircraft landed on its nose wheel, causing the nose landing gear to collapse, buckling of the fuselage skin and cockpit floor, and damage to the propeller. There was no evidence of a pre-existing mechanical defect that would have resulted in the unexpected manoeuvre or of any weather conditions that might have affected the flight adversely"
