Valiant WP210 'crash', Wittering 5th May 1959
'5 May 1959 RAF Wittering: A Valiant landing from exercise Mayflight carrying a 2000lb nuclear weapon crashed. Plane no WP210 Flown by Sqn Ldr D.C. Gordon with FL Higgs.'

I found this here:

Does anyone know anything about this? I believe it's 49 squadron plane but Eric Morgan makes no mention of it in his Valiant book.
