Spitfire Tr.9 Pilots Notes

[ATR42300]

Hi All
I am trying to track down a copy of the Pilots Notes for the Spitfire Tr.9 and would be grateful for any assistance. It is my beleief that the only copies would have been Irish Air Corps issue as they were the only service operators to my knowledge.
The info is required for an Air Casdet who is reseraching this type for a project, any help would be much appreciated.

Indian Air Force had them as well I believe... And G-CCCA has just been repainted in a Dutch scheme (from Irish), so presumably they operated them as well?

Details of the Tr. 9's built. Mark IX pilots notes are available from www.crecy.co.uk I would imagine the only major difference between the two (besides the extra cockpit) would be the removal of the fuselage fuel tank behind the pilots seat to make room for the second cockpit. Have a couple of pages of info and photos on the Tr. 9 ATR42300 if you like to PM with address - will scan and send.
