	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.
		As such the Overstrand was the first RAF aircraft to have a power-operated turret.

	Boulton Paul Sidestrand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boulton Paul P.29 Sidestrand was a twin-engine biplane medium bomber of the Royal Air Force.
		Named after a village near Boulton Paul's factory in Norwich, the Sidestrand first flew in 1926 and entered service in 1928.
		This was intended to become the Sidestrand Mk IV, but eventually became the prototype for the redeveloped Boulton Paul Overstrand which would begin replacing the Sidestrand in service in 1936.

	Interrupter gear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the first instances was the single nose mounted turret of the Boulton Paul Overstrand that served with the RAF, and the almost simultaneous introduction of the much more advanced Martin B-10 with the US Army Air Corps.
		The guns were fired by solenoids and by introducing a break in the electrical power to the guns that coincided with the forbidden arcs of fire the aircraft would be safe from its own guns.
		The Boulton Paul design used a brass drum and brush contacts that corresponded to the direction of the turret and angle of the guns.

		The original wings are thick, with blunt tips and are in three panels, ie, centre section and two outer sections The wing ribs of each section are set at right angles to the leading edge.

		and originally known as the Sidestrand V, the production Overstrand that entered service with No 101 Squadron from 1934 became the RAF's first bomber with a power-operated enclosed gun-turret, which overcame the problems associated with firing movable machine-guns at high speed.
		A total of 24 Overstrands were built, each powered by two 432kW Bristol Pegasus II M3 radial engines.

		Built at by Boulton and Paul at Norwich, the Sidestrand represented a bold experiment in bomber tactics.
		It was as fast and maneuverable as contemporary fighters yet carried a bomb load equal to the standard RAF heavy bomber, the Vickers Virginia.
		Twenty were eventually built, of which three were converted to Sidestrand Mk.V, later renamed Overstrand.

		The turret armed Overstrand proved to be just as manoeuvrable as its predecessor and Sgt D A Reddick thrilled the crowds at Hendon in July 1936 when he looped, rolled and stall turned an Overstrand while in mock combat with Hawker Fury fighters!
		By 1937 the Overstrand was obsolescent but one Overstrand was used in early air-to-air refuelling trials, a prophecy of things to come.
		The Overstrand is forever commemorated in 101 Squadron's official badge, approved by King George VI in 1938, featuring a fierce lion rampant issuant from a castle turret.

	RAF History - Bomber Command 60th Anniversary
		The squadron adopted the battlements of a round tower as symbolic of its claim to be the first squadron equipped with an aircraft fitted with a power-operated rotating turret (the Boulton Paul Overstrand).
		Re-formed at Bircham Newton in March 1928, No 101 became the only operational squadron to have Sidestrands, and later (from 1935) Overstrands, the first RAF bombers with enclosed and power-operated nose gun turrets.
		When war broke out in 1939 the squadron was at West Raynham flying Blenheims and it was with these that it made its first bombing attack on Germany, in July 1940.

		This famous plane was based on the concept that a bomber could penetrate to any target in daylight as long as it had sufficient defensive armament to battle past fighter opposition.
		Gun turrets for defensive machine guns had already been pioneered by Machines Motrices in France, and a license-built version of their turret had appeared on the British Boulton Paul Overstrand bomber in 1934.
		This was dramatically revealed on Dec. 18, 1939, when a formation of Vickers Wellingtons--the most battle-worthy bombers of the day with four-gun Boulton Paul tail turrets--was decimated over the Heligoland Bight by cannon-armed German fighters.

		This turret was pneumatically driven for rotation, while a hydraulic system moved the gunner's seat up and down for elevation.

		The Bobolink was a two-bay biplane with N struts; the pilot could drop the fuel tanks in an emergency.
		The Defiant was a fine aircraft, but the concept was bad and the weight of the gun turret detoriated performance.
		The fuselage was folded to starboard for storage.

		Happily, we are permitted to carry our binoculars at all times, those of us who have them.
		So I could follow the flight perfectly as it circled the airfield and came in to land — a perfect three-point landing right on the centre of the runway, taxiing up towards the hangars — and to our delight another two Overstrands following behind it!
		As we had a lesson with Miss Pelton next, we had to hurry away from the splendid sight, so missed the two “support” amphibians landing just off Moon Island.
