Amesbury Wyvern crash (1950)

I have often wondered about this particular incident and recently drove through Amesbury which gets me to this point.

I was stationed at Tilshead at the time and on the way back to camp and about a mile or so from Stonehenge we had a slash stop. Suddenly the sound of an engine in high rev mode turned my head and I saw a Wyvern coming down vertically, and I do mean nose down, which crashed in a field. It's not far from Boscombe of course. It was quite a sight to see.

Any of our genius heads got any history on it?
