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 this 206 was built without a nose wheel.........

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?

I know of a Namibian pilot who tried to land his 210 inverted.........looks exactly the same as on this picture.......
