On 23 February 2001, a Loganair SD3-60 suffered double engine flameout shortly after take-off from Edinburgh, subsequently attributed to snow and ice accumulation in the engine intake systems. The crew ditched the aircraft into shallow water but the aircraft was severely damaged by the impact with the water and the forward fuselage was submerged. Neither crewmember survived.
