Toolspot.co.uk stocks some Whitworth stuff but may not have deep ones.

Easiest way to obtain a deep socket in an uncommon size is to make one. Buy a conventional length socket (preferably black rather than chrome), cut it just below the square drive and weld in the length of tube you need.
In those countries that use British pipe threads (BSP) you can also buy Whitworth tube spanners, in at least some of the large sizes, from plumber's suppliers. What's available might also depend on whether you're looking for 9/16 BS (.920" hex) or 9/16 W (1.010" hex).
