In the one picture, it looks like the prop is angled  to the side.  Wonder if the crank broke or what?  Not completely uncommon for VWs from what I've read.  Glad they aren't hurt to bad, maybe they can rebuild the plane.  In a way, it doesn't look to be real badly damaged.  JImChuk

Sounds like they made a successful landing but tagged a road sign which spun them around and they nosed over slowly.

I'm amazed the nose gear has no discernible damage.

Yes that is surprising that the nose gear doesn't appear to be bent.  And then if the plane goes all the way over without the nose gear flattening out, the whole plane will be that much higher in the air when it starts coming down on it's back.  The tail doesn't appear to be bent much either which I would expect to see.   Sad to see all the way around at any rate.  JImChuk
