This photo was included in an email of photos of various things. Does anyone know the story behind this one?

Yes,
Beaten up in the archives.
just give a search for nose gear flip over failure grass ect.
Put your feet up, grab a beer, and click away on the dozens of threads on the subject.

As Kahuna said this is in the archives. If I remember it was a video? of a RV that landed at a fly-in on a grass strip and had a nose gear collapse. This picture is of the plane in mid nose over position. Again If I remember right, the pilot was okay but the plane didn't come out as well as it ended up on its back.

IIRC, this was in England.
