Not technically Elite: Dangerous but I'm desperately trying to hunt down a clear image (preferably to original scale) of the original white paper strip that was issued with the original Acornsoft ELITE box set (it has to be this one, no other). Divided into ten main boxes (and with a logo) it was placed above the red function keys on the BBC Microcomputer and acted to identify the ships functions accessible from those keys. Despite my attempting to seek out this strip on the web I've been unsuccessful in locating a copy and am now asking the community if anyone has one, or would be willing to scan one in, preferably to scale for a project I'm working on, which is a re-creation of the original Elite manual, the Space Traders Flight Training Manual which I'm completely remastering from scratch and re-producing all of the original artwork from to the best of my ability.

As you know, the original manual was utilized to establish the background for the ELITE universe and although I do not have permission to do this, the media has been out in the public domain for so long that I felt that to do this and then to make it publically available would not be incurring anyone's wrath; fact is, I see it as a way of giving back to the community at large and helping to support those who choose to continue playing the original Acornsoft ELITE under emulation. The project is in the early stages but is coming along nicely but I am missing key elements and need some assistance in obtaining scanned files. The manual itself is not an issue, as I have two of the original editions to hand (the 1984, 1986 editions) but am missing the function strip, the ship-identification table and several other documents. If anyone is interested in assisting me, please contact me via the internal mail and we can arrange something. This is a strict not-for-profit-operation for the community.
