G-ANTB Destroyed at Jersey

Does anyone have any info on the G-ANTB accident at Jersey, in 1962 I think.
I believe it was on its third attempt to get in when it struck the approache lights. Only the flight attendant survived. I belive it was this incident that brought about regulations in the number of attempts a public transport aircraft could make without a significant weather improvement.

I also understand that either the captain's or first officer's wife was expecting a baby and he was anxious not to night stop/divert.
