12 Jun 1954, Spitfire crash in Port Shelter, Sai Kung

Date(s) of events described: 
Saturday, June 12, 1954

I recently heard a story about a privately owned Spitfire crashing into Sai Kung's Port Shelter some time in the 1950's. Do any of the old timers (or historically minded new timers) have any recollection of any stories related to this - or is it just an urban rumour?
