Wanted: Vampire Mk.30 or Mk.31 Schedule of Spares

Can anyone point me to the parts book for the Australian Nene-powered single seater?

I have already enquired of quite a few museums (RAAF Museum included), individuals, and ebay sellers of manuals, and have had no luck.

AAP 851, the Repair Manual for the Mk.30, refers to…
Vocabulary of Spares, Group “A”, Sectn. 79 … A.A.P. No.2
… which is just the standard structuring of the document reference at the time for the vocab.

The archives (ANA) actually have a fair bit of discussion in the early days as to wether DHA would actually provide the spares book, questioning if the RAAF could cope without (use a motherland DH prepared doc?), but I struggle to believe the RAAF would do without. The Nene (and then various mods) makes it quite different to any RAF or export aircraft (including French Nene versions).

Happy to purchase original, paper copy or digital!
