I have not seen any accident reports .... but I have not specifically looked.
My club lost a newly refurbished Robin (tricycle uc) in an "alleged" attempt to water-ski on the river Derwent. The pilot told the aaib that he had an engine failure . Mobile phone footage of the incident was accidently deleted .........
The pilot gained his Darwin award a few months later with a CFIT (unfortunately taking a female passenger with him).
