Yes it happened yesterday near Mahale Mountains National park. The source from SAR stated the plane had only two pilots who are both injured.

I have absolutely no knowledge of any details of the accident, but am I right in noticing that the nose wheel appears to be missing?

Maybe hey.... tail dragger 206. ha ha
Maybe it was also built with that crazy angle of incidence on the tailplane...

No,but more seriously, I ask because the last 210 I saw on its roof, the nose wheel dug in to some soft swamp and it flipped.... Was gonna speculate that a similar thing may have happened?
