Strangely enough, I saw a link recently (can't remember where) asserting that two One-Eleven prototypes were lost in deep stall events, which is demonstrably nonsense, so there may be a minor urban myth at work here.
Or there may be some confusion with an incident in August 1964 involving an early production aircraft which was used prior to delivery to investigate deep stalls and belly-landed on Salisbury Plain after the stall recovery parachute had failed to jettison. The aircraft was repaired and delivered to the customer the following year.
