John,

I think this may be JL710 OF 304 FTU at Port Ellen,Islay, this aircraft was on a training exercise when cockpit hatchy blew open and all maps were lost,crew baled out and aircraft came down at or near Bawnboy (Not sure of spelling!) Eire. Not got any crew details but you should be able to get this from the ORB at the Public records office, or from the accident form F1180 from RAF Hendon,the latter though having details of the crash will probably only give pilots name.

Hope this helps.
Dave.
