Aircraft landed wheels up on grass runway upon arrival at LAA Rally.
A unconfirmed report stated that the pilot was distracted by another aircraft "cutting in front", while on approach to Sywell and the aircraft's landing checklist was therefore not fully completed, leading to the pilot not lowering the main nose wheel. The propellers struck the ground on landing.
