Red face ATA Ferry Pilot Handling Notes

I wonder if somebody can help.

During WW2, the ATA were responsible for ferrying aircraft of all types around the UK. To aid them in this, they had a set of notes which summarised each type's limitations and handling qualities on about 2 sides of kneeboard card per type.

I've seen a set (covering most allied types), belonging to a friend who was a lady ATA pilot, and I believe that they've been republished by somebody in the not too distant past. I'd like to get hold of a set, but can't seem to find anybody who sells them.

Can anybody help? Ideally I'd like to find an online or mail order retailer, but failing that a shop in the South of England or Midlands.

Thanks,

G
