Robert Standford-Tuck and Whirlwind

Hi All,
Anyone ever seen Tuck's logbook?
I would be interested in the serial of the whirlwind/s he flew.
Was there a 80's print of his log (or am I thinking of someone else).
Details from a web interview, see below.
Anyone know any another 'famous' pilots who flew the whirlwind?
Cheers
Jerry

' CUNNINGHAM: Did you ever fly a twin-engined fighter such as the 'Whirlwind?
TUCK: Yes, I flew the Whirlwind. And of course I flew De Havilland Mosquitoes also, but not in combat. I never used them in combat, but I flew them for the hell of it, because I liked them. '
