No it is the same one flipped over on its back last summer at Thames, and the year before at Whakatane. (same pilot)
how is it possible to flip a plane 3 times in 3 years??????? might be time to give up?!?
anyone know anything further?

Aircraft was fitted with STD 8.00 by 6 tyres. The late model brake kit had been installed prior to the first upsidedown incident. All accidents were pilot induced.

That makes it a balls-up not a wheels-up Desert Flower. ;)
