To the contrary, he tries as much as possible to prevent the nose over; but this is basically impossible to avoid on some A/C, there is just no authority anymore on the elevator at such low speeds, and the mass repartition of the Hurricane does the rest...
Same thing for the ground loop aspect: rudder action is feeble compared to an half up landing gear and a wingtip in grass!
Indeed it is too bad he did not cut the engine off before nosing over; it may have been difficult to do when still trying to manoeuver the aircraft...
