Hawker Hunter (called Kermit?) crash

I hope someone can shed some light on this, many years a go there was a programme on the BBC about a pilot who was almost killed (sadly his co-pilot was) on take-off in a Hunter which I'm sure the pilot said was nicknamed 'Kermit' because of its green colour. The Hunter was a test aircraft and I think the programme was called 'Five minutes at a time'. I'd really like to know what became of the pilot and if possible more info on the actual aircraft and accident.

A quick dig around on UKSerials suggests it was XE531 Photo Search Results | Airliners.net

Any further info greatly apprciated
