I saw it on the news but not much information available. From the article it states engine troubles and nose gear collapsed on landing.

What is that, a Lance II? Must be a crappy day to have engine troubles and collapse the nose gear.

Oh, I was thinking the real Billy Bishop airport in Owen Sound. Not the copy.

On 24 March, after crash landing his aircraft during a practice flight in front of General John Higgins, Bishop was ordered to return to flight school at Upavon. Major Alan Scott, the new commander of 60 Squadron, convinced Higgins to let him stay until a replacement arrived.[33] The next day, Bishop claimed his first victory when his was one of four Nieuports that engaged three Albatros D.III Scouts near St Leger.

...and I thought he was talking about the Billy Bishop crashing...
