We rode past the Boonah Airfield early today and I think this aircraft was parked outside Ultimate Aero.

The B-52 doesn't have ailerons in the traditional sense, but rather spoilerons placed inboard and forward of the trailing edge, and are used for lateral control at high speeds to prevent excessive wing twist. Small ailerons are only used to provide control forces to the pilot.
Once a critical bank angle was passed (probably over 60°, but potentially lower due to reduced speed) the pilot would not have been able to recover even with "correct" inputs.

By totaling up the number of aircraft from each manufacturer on this list (unfortunately it is from 2012) RA-Aus aircraft register, in number sequence we get the following:
As Yenn mentioned the top listed aircraft brands are very common for ab-initio training, so applying an average number of hours per aircraft per year doesn't work, but the figures are very interesting none the less.

Very interesting, but the accident rate for each brand would be more informative. Is it possible to get the total number of each brand registered and divide these values into it to give the rate?

No scrapes, just flattened grass.no scrape marks that I can see in the turf.
-
Based on the flattened grass in front of the left wing and behind the right, I wonder if it was a developed and very flat spin impact?

It is listed in summary form on the front page of Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) but there is no link. They are probably updating it and it will be available soon.

"Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor couldn't confirm that Ford was piloting the Aviat Husky that overflew the Boeing 737, but he said the pilot received and had read back the proper landing instructions."

Yes, my friend took the attached photo from his flight (that was delayed) and he said it landed "straight down the middle with the wheels up"

Looks like a Lake Buccaneer with the engine in a pod above the wing. Any fuel spill may not have found a heat source.

Here is the builder and pilot's blog post about the accident: http://flyscoundrel.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/42-seconds-to-crash-landing.html

As a low time pilot I read these threads for lessons to learn to keep me and my pax alive. Whatever actually happened in this flight is still being investigated, but I have already learned much from the personal experiences shared here, and that's a huge benefit.
CASA posted this in their facebook page a couple of week ago and it is very sobering.
R.I.P. and may we learn from your loss.

The track for VH-TOT ended a long way south of where HEMS5 is orbiting.

I agree, and possibly somewhere around the base to final turn.
R.I.P.
