Narrative:
Aircraft landed -all three wheel on runway --then the left wing was caught by a gust of wind and the aircraft went into a ground loop- the aircraft did not respond when applying correction for the gust of wind. The trees to the southwest side of the runway caused an unexpected wind current which caused the ground loop. The deep ditch also contributed to the situation (the ditch next to the runway is deep and wide) I found the controls did not respond to the gust of wind therefore causing the ground loop. The cure for the problem would be to fill in a large portion of the ditch and cut down the trees to reduce the air current problem.
