Sleeve Valves

Slightly off thread but with regard to sleeve valves does anybody have or can obtain access to the article in Air Clues that was printed shortly after the demise of the Bev entitled " Bye Bye Bev " which contained many stories about the career of the Bev, stories such as the birdstrike where the bird overtook the Bev but misjudged its cut across the front of the Bev and got hit, closing speed about 5 mph! If so I would appreciate a copy as it was the first aircraft I worked on after leaving Halton and boy did it have character.
