A Boeing A75N1 Stearman aircraft, was conducting circuits at Abbotsford (CYXX), BC with 1 pilot and 1 passenger on board. As the southwesterly wind had increased and started gusting during the third touch-and-go, control was lost and the aircraft ground looped to the right. The aircraft became perpendicular to the runway and began to skid, resulting in the collapse of the left main landing gear. The aircraft struck one runway edge light, and came to rest on the right hand edge of the paved surface of the runway, in the opposite direction. The pilot and the passenger evacuated the aircraft with no injuries. There was no post impact fire, however the aircraft was substantially damaged.
