Aeroprakt A22 Foxbat, G-CDDW

Summary:

Due to fog at his home airfield the pilot elected to land at an alternative strip. The ground at the alternative strip was soft and the available landing distance was reduced due to livestock at one end; hence the pilot applied the brakes firmly, resulting in the nose wheel digging into the soft ground causing damage to the aircraft.
