The aircraft was en route when it suffered engine vibrations and a loss of power. The pilot decided to carry out an emergency landing on a fire break on a farm outside Bloemfontein. During the landing, the aircraft's nose wheel appears to have collapsed and the aircraft flipped over and came to rest upside down. The engine was torn from its mountings and the tail fin was compressed. Apparently the pilot and passenger were not injured.
