Not much out there actually...at least of quality. There are several books you can try.

Here are some images though, not the best.

Just a point, wasn't the third pilot also the first pilot .. if you get what i mean. Think Stanley was his name ( I only got this from what I read).

Also, the Tony Geraghty book is "Who Dares Wins". Funnily enough, as my memory serves me, I think Royal mentioned this in another post a while back.
