"The aircraft was landing on Runway 11, which has a grass surface. After a gentle touchdown, towards the completion of the landing run, there was a sharp 'crack', and the nose dropped, causing the propeller and spinner to strike the ground. The aircraft then overturned. The pilot switched off the fuel and electrical systems, and before evacauting the aircraft. The pilot stated the the nose landing gear had collapsed when the nose wheel ran into soft ground towards the end of the landing run."
