Thanks, Oudis & Az_gila for these useful ideas. I appreciate (from experience) that memories play tricks but usually there are some elements of truth in such remeniscences and I hope that the names of the individual(s) involved my help me to narrow this down in time.
The greenside reference is I think so far off the date and has none of the other features to make it unlikely to be the one. The first wikipedia reference unfortunately does not mention the pilot at the time of the taxiing accident but is one I will follow up. So also is the Uiver reference, but again this does not give any details of the RAF bomber involved - it may have been caused if the bomber itelf had been damaged on approach and coudl not manouvre properly. Again, This is another I will follow up.

The second wikipedia reference is also interesting - there seem to have been a lot of accidents involving Ronaldsy / speke but they all seem to have occured away from Speke. The old lady was unusually specific in her words "on approach to Speke".
The 1934 reference to G-EBKX is also very interesting, especially becasue of the experiences of Az_gila and is another I will follow up.
I am grateful to both of you for these ideas.
