Unhappy Meteor accident - Kirkcaldy

Some details from 'The Courier' on

http://www.thecourier.co.uk/output/2...10438178t0.asp

Salient quote :-

"The pilot, Flight Lieutenant M. J. Withey, of Malvern, Worcestershire, and Senior Aircraftman D. McLoughlin, of Glasgow, died on October 18, 1957, when their plane, based at West Raynham, Norfolk, came down after engine trouble.
They had been on their way to Leuchars after being diverted from Turnhouse—now Edinburgh airport—because of bad weather when the jet crashed only 100 yards or so short of Dunnikier House Hotel."

Weather or engine problems?
