On final approach for the night landing, a wind gust moved the aircraft to the right. The pilot saw trees and added power to go around; however, the airplane impacted the trees and nosed over, coming to rest inverted 50 feet from the runway threshold. 55 minutes prior to the accident, the winds at a location 17 nmi from the site were from 340 degrees at 15 knots with gusts to 24.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind gusts. Factors were the gusts and the dark night conditions.
