Avro Lincoln crash 1950s?

Something that has been bugging me for years.

As a kid in 1956-7-8(?ish), I saw a Lincoln (they were based at Lindholme) in a spin one summer. It was quite low, about 5,000ft max, and about 3 miles west of Finningley. I did not see what happened to it as I was in a car and it became obscured by buildings etc as we moved along.

Never heard of a crash, anyone know of one around then? I would think deliberate spins were a no-no.
