The Vanguard crash was October/November 1965, if my memory serves me right and I think the reg was G-APEE. It was either the Edinburgh or Glasgow night mail flight on which very cheap passenger tickets were also available. The accident was attributed to the first officer, who was flying the monitored approach, chasing the VSI on the go-around, instead of flying attitude on the ADI. It went into the runway at a very steep angle with a bang that could be heard all across the airport. There were no survivors.
