Analysis
The student plt had started touch and go landings after some air work. The 1st landing was successful, but during the 2nd a gust of wind carried the acft off the runway during the flare. In attempting to go around with full throttle and flaps retracting, the wing dragged and the nose dug in. The acft then nosed over.
