This sounds like a great idea Luthier. I am sure someone at the Imperial War Museum or RAF Museum, both in London, will have the answer to this.

I live in London and am happy to make some calls if this helps.

... also Luthier, check out these dealers in old war maps. They may be able to help too:

http://www.aviation-antiques.com/maps-1.html - for example, see (BRITISH) WAR OFFICE 1942 LE HAVRE FRANCE, the last map on page 1

http://www.maps-charts.com/Maps_war.htm - see the last map on page 1, Skye and Outer Herbrides [Scotland], 4th ed. 1940, which is stated to be 'cloth backed'

Good luck
