Pilot Reports

I need a bit of help from the historians of the forum.

I'm looking for any reference material specific to the Sopwith Baby and or Schneider with regard to operational notes / letters, (pilot reports), mission reports,...etc.

Mick Davis's Sopwith Book, and the Windsock data file, are specific to the aircraft itself, but I would really like to get a feel for it from the pilot's perspective.

There is some mention in the datafile of a pilot by the name of Bankes-Price having been shot down in flames after a number of successful and daring low level missions, but no real specifics, just a commanders journal entry of his personal feelings regarding the loss of this pilot, and the suitability of the Baby in general.

I guess my best hope would be squadron mission reports from the seaplane carrier HMS Ben-my-chree,... how would I locate those??

Thanks!
