RAF helicopter crash Cyprus 1957

Is anyone able to provide details about this chopper crash -- date of accident, any info on cause, etc., and names of crew?

The helicopter was either a Sycamore or a Whirlwind. It crashed into the Troodos Mountains, North of RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus, sometime in 1957, killing the crew of two.

A contact of mine (ex RAF Mountain Rescue) is seeking information on this accident, including crew names. Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Gordon
