I bet the only thing that didn't get wet were their headsets! :E

Could have been far worse, like upwind on 11
You're dead right! I used to lower the nose on the simulated failure and ask the students where they would go? It wasn't a teaching exercise, I really wanted to know! :P

Seem to recall a DC3 in the water hazard at the Golf Links E of Syd A/P
It was an East West aircraft, 1957. A 'Crash Comic' article is here:

If the engine fails on late upwind of RWY 11, you also have the option of the sports field at Bankstown Boys (or whatever it's called these day).

The flying school I worked at did have a C152 experience an EFATO of RWY 11 and the student was able to put it down in the grass area just before the airport boundry fence.

Yep. He pulled the wrong tap back, after engine failure.
