Come on LNS, where are you?

How about the Bistol 133 - spun in during testing on 8 March 1935, the pilot, Campbell, got out, but only just - his foot caught in the control column as he was trying to egress the cockpit. The engine and remains of the prop were dug up during rebuilding works by the Post Ofice following the sale of the old Bristol Engines site at Filton about 10 years ago. They now rest with the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust at Filton, but the rest of the aicraft went missing following the crash.
