During the rollout phase, the aircraft encountered a strong gust of wind, causing the aircraft to pitch to the right. The ground loop commenced whilst at the same time the tail lifted, causing a propeller strike and further rotating the aircraft around the pitch axis and flipping the aircraft onto its back, coming to a rest on its rudder and wings.
