I am looking for information on the Egyptian Air Force HA-200B jet trainers destroyed during the June 1967 war....can anyone help?

I have an old article by Luis Garcia Martinez (probably cut from Le Fana). Five were delivered in 1960. Five more were delivered in 1961, with the tooling to manufacture 90 more under license, but production stopped at 63 in 1969 (this production would in fact have virtually stopped during the conflict of 1967 with the departure of the Spanish technical teams). The first aircraft delivered was lost by accident (high voltage cables during a demonstration flight). 40 aircraft would have been operational. "7 or 8" would have been destroyed by the Israelis at the start of the 6-day war.
