This accident is mentioned along with several others in Harald Penrose's book Adventure with Fate. ISBN 0906393361 Of the Wyvern he states:

No other contemporary aircraft had proved so lethal as the Wyvern,and yet that was chiefly due to engine development failures, for the aeroplane itself was one of those very nearly very good machines
