Yes, if memory serves in AirFrance 447 that upon finding out the co-pilot had been pulling up the whole time the other pilot is shocked to hear this and realizes the problem. I remember being really affected by this so I went out and found the transcript:
02:13:40 (Robert) Climb... climb... climb... climb...
02:13:40 (Bonin) But I've had the stick back the whole time!
[At last, Bonin tells the others the crucial fact whose import he has so grievously failed to understand himself.]
02:13:42 (Captain) No, no, no… Don’t climb… no, no.
02:13:43 (Robert) Descend, then… Give me the controls… Give me the controls!

The transcript and its English translation are here: https://www.bea.aero/uploads/tx_elyextendttnews/annexe.01_04.pdf https://www.bea.aero/uploads/tx_elyextendttnews/annexe.01_04... https://www.bea.aero/uploads/tx_elyextendttnews/annexe.01.en_03.pdf https://www.bea.aero/uploads/tx_elyextendttnews/annexe.01.en...
