		Boulton Paul, therefore, had to lay down two production lines for two entirely different turret fighters which would be produced along side each other.
		Boulton's redesign involved a widening of the fuselage centre section to take their Type A MkIIR turret with retractable fairings fore and aft, similar to the Defiant.
		Boulton's stated that all 136 Rocs should be completed by November 1939, although non had yet flown, and stated that the delays had been the result of waiting for modifications to the Skua to be approved before they could be implemented on the Roc.

	::Boulton Paul Defiant::
		The Boulton Paul Defiant's part in the early stages of World War Two have effectively been overshadowed by the Hurricane and Spitfire.
		However, the Boulton Paul Defiant was to play an important role in trying to stop the advance of the Germans into Belgium and France in the Spring of 1940.
		In 1935, the idea of such a design for a fighter plane was still acceptable, though the armament of the Boulton Paul Defiant was soon to be overtaken by the forward facing weaponry carried by both the Hurricane and Spitfire.

	Boulton Paul Defiant
		Often maligned as a failure, the Boulton Paul Defiant found a successful niche as a night-fighter during the German 'Blitz' on London, scoring a significant number of combat kills before being relegated to training and support roles.
		The Boulton Paul company first became interested in powered gun turrets when it pioneered the use of a pneumatic-powered enclosed nose turret in the Boulton Paul Overstand biplane bomber.
		Boulton Paul tendered the P.82 design, featuring an 4-gun turret developed from the French design, and was rewarded with an order for two prototypes.

		This was followed by Boulton Paul's most famous aircraft, the Defiant, (left) which was a revolutionary but flawed concept -- a "fast" fighter with no fixed forward armament but a powerful four-gun dorsal turret.

	The walk 7: St Paul's Square, Boulton & Watt
		The St Paul's Square frontage was originally four storeys high with elaborate Italianate detailing, but has been reduced to three storeys and had much of the detailing removed in order to make it 'fit in' better with the rest of the Square.
		Matthew Boulton was an eighteenth century industrial pioneer who established what was, in its day, the most famous factory in the world, went on to make a practical reality of the steam engine James Watt had invented, and then developed the modern, fraud resistant coinage we still use today.
		James Watt and Matthew Boulton were both members of the Lunar Society, a remarkable group of men which met regularly in and around Birmingham for over 40 years in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

		The Boulton Paul Defiant was an early World War II fighter aircraft and bomber interceptor of the Royal Air Force, built by Boulton Paul Aircraft Ltd.
		The turret was based on a design by French aviation company SAMM, and had been licensed by Boulton Paul for use in the Blackburn Roc naval aircraft.
		The very first Defiant prototype had not been fitted with a turret, and in 1940 Boulton Paul developed a conventional, single-seat version of the Defiant called the P94, which was armed with twelve.303 Browning machine guns, six per wing.

	BBC - h2g2 - Boulton Paul Defiant - World War II Aircraft
		The Boulton Paul P.82 Defiant, designed and built in Pendeford, Wolverhampton, was the first RAF fighter in service with a four-gun turret.
		The prototype, K8310, made its initial flight on 11 August, 1937 and the two-seat all-metal monoplane, with forward-facing pilot and rear-facing gunner in a hydraulically operated turret, was soon snapped up by the Air Ministry.
		The sole surviving Boulton Paul Defiant night-fighter (N1671), while not airworthy, can be found at the RAF Museum, Hendon.

	Boulton Paul Defiant - P82
		This is especially true for the turreted fighter concept, which materialised in two operational types, Boulton Paul Defiant and Blackburn Roc.
		The idea was first conceived in 1935 and called for the application of a power-operated multi-gun turret in a single-engine day fighter, it's purpose was to break up un escorted bomber formations.
		When the Air Ministry issued such specification (F.9/35), Boulton Paul had already a competitive edge, possessing an effective gun turret of their own design.

		The Boulton Paul design was selected ahead of one submitted by Hawker Aviation.
		Boulton Paul also built the Blackburn Roc (from a design by Blackburn) which was the naval equivalent of the Defiant.

		The result was the acceptance of the Defiant built by the Boulton Paul Aircraft Company, which took over the aviation department of the Boulton and Paul Aircraft Company in June 1934.
		Its firepower consisted of four.303 Browning machine guns in the removable Boulton Paul A Mk IID hydraulically operated dorsal turret.
		The.303 guns were belt fed, all with 600 rounds of ammunition and the hydraulic system formed an integral part of the turret itself.

		The Defiant introduced a new, and fatally flawed, concept into RAF two seat single engined fighters; having no forward firing armament and concentrating all its fire power in a rear gun turret.
		Just as radar equipped Defiants were reaching squadrons they began to be replaced by more effective Beaufighters and Mosquitos.

	Boulton Paul Overstrand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boulton Paul P.75 Overstrand was the last of the twin-engine biplane medium bombers of the Royal Air Force, a series that had begun during the First World War with the likes of the Vickers Vimy and Handley Page Type O.
		The Overstrand only saw brief service in the late 1930s and by the outbreak of the Second World War only a few surviving aircraft remained in operation with training units.
		- The Overstrand was essentially an upgrade of Boulton Paul's Sidestrand which had first flown in 1928 and like the Sidestrand was named for a village in Norfolk, home also of Boulton Paul's Norwich factory.

	Detailing the Defiant: Classic Airframes' 1/48 Boulton Paul Defiant
		Usually it’s the bad guys’ machines that receive negative propaganda both during and after a conflict, but that hasn’t been the case with the Boulton Paul Defiant, the RAF’s Battle of Britain turret-armed fighter.
		Another photo shows the undercarriage in detail with the correct arrangement of the undercarriage linkages, for they’re shown upside down in the kit’s instructions, and also how the oleos have been shortened by some 1.5mm to correct the model’s ‘sit’.
		I then moved on to what for me was the focal point of the Defiant, the Boulton Paul A Type II turret.

	Cybermodeler Online - Classic Airframes Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I
		The Boulton Paul Defiant was designed as a new tactical concept by the British Air Ministry.
		Rather than have an eight-gun fighter like the upcoming Hurricane and Spitfire concepts have to dogfight their way through a fight, a two place fighter with a powered turret could 'trap' an opponent in the Defiant's rear and the turret would take care of business.
		In the competition for this fighter concept, Boulton Paul competed and won against the Hawker Hotspur.

		In the late 1940’s and early 1950’s the British aircraft industry was engaged in many projects to confirm and develop the design ideas captured from the Germans at the end of the second world war.
		As part of this activity the P111 was built for the Air Ministry to specification E.27/46 by Boulton Paul Aircraft Ltd to investigate the possibilities of the delta planform wing.
		It was also the first to be designed purely for research into the properties of the delta wing, as touted by Alexander Lippisch.
