After touchdown at the conclusion of an evening scenic flight the aircraft veered off the private strip. The pilot was unable to regain directional control and the aircraft ground-looped, coming to rest in an adjacent ditch. The cause was not established. Unexpected deflation of the right main wheel tyre, or the effect of an isolated wind gust, were the most likely possibilities.
