Default Super Petrel LS Incident - Queens Lake Laurieton

My brother was called out with the SES when a Super Petrel LS had an incident while landing on Queens Lake near Laurieton. After performing a number
of landings, the aircraft nosed in on the last one, damaging the windscreen and fuselage. There were no injuries, and the aircraft was towed ashore slowly
by the two SES boats. Fortunately the engine is mounted high, however it looks like some of the electrionics may have been water damaged. According to
the RA-Aus register, the aircraft may have only moved from the pre-allocation register, to the full RA-Aus register, in the past month.
