Default RAF Insignia Catalogue

Does anyone have a copy of An Illustrated Catalogue of Air Force Insignia compiled from 1969 by Margaret Nobbs and Charles Thomas?

I'm fortunate to own a photocopy but am missing a few pages which I would like to obtain.

Thanks.

Jo

This is the first time I've come across this publication, and I'd love to get a complete copy of it. Probably unobtainable, right?

Rgds, Thomas.

Likewise (as Thomas) - sounds like a must have but difficult to obtain publication.
Any guidance on what to look for would be much appreciated eg
How many pages, images of cover etc would be gratefully received
Regards and thanks
Mike

As far as I now it was a private circulation, subscription only venture and consisted of typewritten pages with line drawings. The copy I saw was in a normal lever arch file as I suspect it never had a more elaborate cover as it was more in the way of research notes than a proper book.

The notes & research for this or a copy of the work itself (easy to mistake the "finished" work for research notes by the sound of it) were sold some months ago, I can't remember which dealer was involved or whether it was via eBay.
I had an interest but too many irons in the fire to purchase.
