Aircraft crash: Fact or Faulty memory?

For the whole of my adult life I have carried the memory of a horrible aircraft accident in my head, but now I come to research it I can find no information that confirms it ever happened - to the point I am beginning to think it may have been a dream.

The 'facts' as I recall them are as follows.
1) It happened in the 'fifties at Heathrow.
2) It was captured on film. It involved an aircraft with three vertical stabilisers, (I have always 'assumed' it to be a Constellation but that's not a 'fact')
3) The aircraft veered sharply off course at low altitude and struck the Queens building

Any information welcome, thank you.
