A Cessna has crashed at the Gold Coast, i think a nose wheel collapse? from the pictures (http://tools.goldcoast.com.au/photo-gallery/photo_gallery_popup_preview.php?category_id=9915&offset=0) it looks like VH-RBB was the aircraft.

What's with the angle on the wing? Did it strike the runway??

Yes it was VH-RBB and it is owned by Australian Wings Academy based here in OOL. it is one of their trainer aircraft.

I think you will find that Air Gold Coast own VH-RBB. I did a Bi annual with Tim Hayman, one of there instuctors in her last year. Was a nice aircraft.
