Question RAF Meteor 8 in flight explosion 1956?

I am trying to find out what the official findings/verdict was on a Meteor Mk8 which exploded over Filey Golf Course; the many parts crash landed for the most part in the boating lake at Butlins Holiday Camp Filey. I witnessed this event, but for the life of me I cannot remember the year....it was August as best I can remember and despite the jet exploding and the location of its crash no one apart from the poor Pilot was killed. Does anyone have any info that can help me, please ?
