C185 on its back in NZRO

Does anyone know how this happened? Was this the aircraft that the parachutests used?

See, it is possible to do a wheels-up in a fixed gear aircraft!;)

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. ;)
