Oldtimer - here I go spreading what could be a rumour but the source is pretty reliable, though not first-hand. Supposedly they did ball it up landing in a farmer's field.

According to Canadian Aviator Nov/Dec 2005 T-Moose C-FDBN cartwheeled while attempting to land in a field on October 12. TSB is investigating and as yet has revealed no mechanical problems. One passenger suffered serious injury and the aircraft received substantial damage.
