Spitfire Pilots Notes

I wonder if any of the knowledgeable members of this forum could help me with a query.

I bought an example of AP1565J-P.N (Pilots notes for Spitfire F.IX). I was told the time that these were genuine, but having seen many copies of Pilots Notes over the years I’m not so sure!

The only reference (on the back cover) reads:

791 Wt. 8028/N545 2,500 8/43 C.P. Ltd Gp. 784

Any advice gratefully received

Thanks

Ian

Can’t answer your question but maybe these people can:

http://www.crecy.co.uk/

They are the company that currently reprints the Pilots Notes.

The set of notes I have are a 70’s reprint that covers all types of MKIX (& the XVI) and this is the edition that Crecy currently reproduces.

Cheers

RE: Spitfire Pilots Notes

Well Ian, usually reprints say as much on the bottom of the rear cover-they always used to when supplied by ‘Air SData Publications’, anyway. I don’t know who prints them these days, though they are still on sale in places like Hendon, but I’m sure any reprint would say as much.
