Canberra WE117 – which unit?

Canberra WE117 listed as being a B.2 or B.6 crashed in Wales on the 13th January 1957 whilst on an air test and killing the pilot who was the sole occupant. But in different accident records one says it belonged to 231 OCU and another says 32 MU. Can anyone help determine which one is correct?

The date was January 13th 1958 and not 1957. The unit was 32 MU and the pilots name was Flight Lieutenant James Wallace.

Hope this helps.
