The US-registered PA-18 aircraft departed Blanc Sablon en-route to Gander. In the vicinity of Coachman's Cove, NL., the pilot decided to land on a marsh to take a break and possibly camp for the night. The A/C was equipped with 31-inch tundra tires capable of providing support on soft surfaces. During the touchdown the main wheels settled into the marsh and the A/C nosed over. The pilot was uninjured and damage to the aircraft was limited to a bent right wing strut. About 90 minutes after the accident, the pilot contacted the Halifax FIC and cancelled the Flight Note for the trip. The next day, a Canadian Forces Griffon helicopter crew on a training exercise in the vicinity noticed the inverted aircraft. The crew of the Griffon transported the pilot to St. Anthony airport.
