Fairey Rotodyne

I am in the process of writing a book on Rotodyne, to be published mid-2009.
I already have a wealth of information, sufficient to complete the book, but naturally I would like more if it should become available in time.
I myself flew in Rotodyne towards the end of the programme as a Flight Test Engineer, and in 2003 delivered the ‘Cierva’ Lecture on Rotodyne to the Royal Aeronautical Society in London.

I would like to acquire photographs of:

The Dynamic model at Hayes.
A good picture of ‘Light-up’.
An airborne picture of flying with the tailplane removed, and the fuselage braced.
A Picture of single engine run-on landing.

Photographs need to be of publishable quality (300dpi tif for digital copies) and copyright must be indisputable.

I have been unable to find any Pilot’s operating instructions.
