Meteor accident Coningsby Sept 1953

This one seems to fit the bill.

19.09.53 WA836 Meteor F8 of 74 Sqn. Broke up during a high speed run at RAF Coningsby Battle of Britain display killing the pilot. The cause was attributed to a double main plane failure as a result of previous overstressing if the aircraft.
Flying Officer PR Ward.
