Turnhouse accident 50's

I'm trying to pin down the date and circumstances surrounding an accident to a Meteor belonging to Ferranti at Turnhouse Edinburgh some time in the late 50's. From a distance (2 miles or so) I saw the aircraft disappear over a hill and a plume of smoke after. As I was only 6 or 7 (I think) at the time I can't pin the date down and can't google anything at all - one of our neighbours worked for Ferranti and I was dispatched to tell him there had been a crash. Would be good to find out what really happened.
