Circumstances:
The crew was performing a training flight around Sydney. While landing in the Rose Bay, off Sydney, the aircraft christened 'Clifton' landed hard and came to rest. Both occupants were unhurt while the aircraft was later considered as damaged beyond repair due to a hole in the hull and the left leading edge flap.
