There was a TB10 flown by a couple of foreign students that speared in at Ceduna some years ago due to somotogravic illusion. Wouldn't say a TB10 was hot ship either!
Except it wasn't really a somatogravic illusion. They were further away from the airfield than is normal with those sorts of prangs and they'd already commenced a turn for Adelaide. Rather than impacting nose down in an 'up and over' type deal they more or less flew on a gradual descent into the ground. IIRC, the ATSB report didn't think somatogravic illusion as being the likely cause.

Finally, it was a Trinny rather than a Tobago so acceleration may have been a bit of an issue but not something that the ATSB thought relevant.
