Yes PRO, or TNA as it is now, really at Kew.
You can do searches online, http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/, but not completely comprehensive, search under’Avia’ and ‘Air’ files.
These documents are generally passed on by the AHB, DoRIS at RAFM Hendon may well have some aswel.
Beware some of the specification files are large!

Try the Air-Britain web site it should point you to their sales department. If you have trouble I will look out a sales list for you.

You could try to get hold of a copy of Air-Britain’s “The British Aircraft Specifications File” I am not sure whether they still have any stock as it has been out some time.

There is an excellent Air Britain book which covers the period.

Otherwise, its off to the PRO for you!

www.pro.gov.uk

Search the archives – look under AIR and AVIA sections, and you should find what you need. Takes a bit of lateral thinking sometimes. You can order the relevant titles (most of the time)
