Your Percival Provost is almost certainly WV624 which dived into the ground after take-off from Cranfield 30.12.57 killing the US Navy pilot on board. It is thought the instrument panel became loose. The wreckage was recovered to Luton and lain around the side of the helicopter blister hangar for some time although it was gone by the early 60s when I started taking an interested. That is Wigmore Hall Farm in the background.
