Question Ditching-Pax Safety Brief question?

Hi,
I've an enquiry based on idle curioisity from reading ditching instructions on Pax safety brief on my recent holiday charter flight.
Not withstanding the exceptionally remote chance of having to make a forced ditching in a modern airliner, has it ever been done succesfully in practice or in any trials?
Seem to remember a Nimrod MR2 ditching in sea off UK a few years ago succesfully-would this be fair comparison with a medium/large airliner?
Would be interested to know, thanks....
