Slingsby T67B, G-BLTU

Summary:

As a result of a reduction in engine power, possibly caused by carburettor icing, the pilot was unable to maintain height and therefore made a forced landing in a recently harrowed field. During the landing roll the nose wheel dug into the soft earth causing the nose leg to break and the aircraft to flip onto its back.
