St. Athan - Sound Barrier, June 1950 at the latest

I hope I'm on the right forum this time, having gone to the wrong place at first. Heartfelt apologies if I'm still in the wrong place. I can only plead newbie idiocy.

My question is - Can anyone help me with sound barrier information please? My father was stationed at RAF St. Athan from 1947 to June 1950, and I remember being taken to an airshow on the base at which the sound barrier was broken. The event cannot have been after June 1950, because that's when we moved to RAF Castle Archdale. Does anyone know which aircraft and pilot this might have been?
