Jonny McNee has published the story of his research in a book, The Story of the Donegal Spitfire.  It is on amazon and can also be obtained directly from him, I have his email address.  It is self published.

It is a wonderful addition to the battery of knowledge that exists on the war time crashes and landings in Ireland.
