Stolen Vickers Varsity

Does anyone recall the groundcrew airman who entered a RAF Vickers Varsity in 1955, started both engines, taxied to the runway, took off, flew south and crashed somewhere over France.

I always recall the headlines in the papers, but where was the Varsity based, trade and rank of the airman involved and where it crashed in France?
