Pitts S-1C G-BPRD: Substantially damaged 6 August 2022 in a landing accident at Eastfield Farm, Chapel Lane, Great Carlton, Louth, Lincolnshire The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only investigation, and the following is the summary from that investigation...

"Shortly after a normal touch down, the left main landing gear collapsed and the aircraft nosed over into an inverted position. The pilot reported that the landing gear had fractured, possibly due to fatigue. The pilot believed that his lack of injury was due to his wearing a five-point harness and helmet."
