Not in the UK but as a general statement, be patient, they do show up. We saw a man from Canada go through the waiting game for a month or two and then he got what he wanted, with papers I think. My search took a couple of months as well, though I was more focused on price than papers. If you search the sites and be patient, one should turn up.

Papers to me is a proof of service history. Not to mention its reselling value.

I can take one without the b&p if it's reflected in the price.

Anyways, thanks for the input :)

As the other respondents say, just be patient the Headwind does show up now and then. I had been waiting for over a year to find one, then remarkably 2 appeared within a month.

I spotted one where the serial number on the chrono certificate did not match the serial number of the watch, but Breitling confirmed the watch serial number as genuine. The other I managed to get, I would post some pictures but I have sent it off for a complete overhaul. Only 9 weeks to it's return!!

Yeah I've found several on eBay, but in one the seller lied about the papers with bogus arguments! Another claimed it was new as he left it in a safe for 8years! Hopefully I'll find one soon.
