Robert
The Valetta was VX521 and sadly 9 were killed.
There is also a website detailing these names and initials at:
http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:fdn4s-ROqFEJ:www.angelfire.com/mp/memorials/rafx1.htm

Now that you have got date, aircraft type and serial no., and place, if you send a large SAE to the RAF Museum at Hendon they will send you a brief accident summary.

I hope this helps to relieve some of the pain
John
