Martin Baker MB-5 at Bircham Newton

OK I'm still on the case of this airframe and can't find the issue of wingspan with some info on it. Can anyone remember the date it was 'disposed' of? or anything relating to it's time at Bircham Newton as it's reputed fate was on the fire dump at this base after the base commander ordered it burned and supposedly buried. If necessary I'm going to do some research in the village and possibly put an article in the local paper to see what response from locals/ex-servicemen I can raise as someone must have witnessed it's fate.
