Jet Provost book

As an author, I find that nearly every type has had a book dedicated to it and there are not many gaps to fill. However, while the fighters and bombers have stolen all the limelight, the humble Jet Provost trained so many RAF pilots in safety and efficiency, but it's been largely overlooked for recognition.Therefore I am gathering material for a JP & Strikemaster book and looking for any interesting and unusual experiences anyone might have had whilst flying a JP? Also any good quality colour photos of the very early JPs - the long-legged JP Mk.1 with 2FTS and CFS and the early Mk.3s with the RAF College and FTS's in the early solid painted dayglo orange trim of the early 60s. Can anyone help? Are there any former members of JP aerobatic teams out there with experiences and photos?
