Thanks for posting Banks (plus NZtyphoon and others), really enjoyed going through these.
***Quasi Digression******
It sounds a bit kinky but the thing I miss with scans is the smell of old documents when you actually have them...I don't have flight test reports but collect period aviation books and love opening them and getting the full experience. I especially love the books from during or before the war, which usually get things totally wrong (109s are useless, 110s are superplanes, Jerry uses cannon as he is too scared to get close etc.
)
Just got the 1957 edition of "Night Fighter" written about the night fighter war by the operators who worked with John "cats eye" Cunningham...fantastic read.
I also have the 1941 edition of "Fighter Squadrons" by Noel Monks, about the French campaign. He seemed to be under the impression that Hurricanes did everything at "350mph" and the 109s were scared stiff of them
