	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 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.
		The Sidestrand was similar to its First World War predecessors in that it had open cockpits and hand-operated defensive machine guns.

	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.
		The Sidestrand's bombload was limited to 1050 lb (476 kg) which did not compare favourably with its contemporaries such as the Martin B-10.
		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.

	Boulton Paul Aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the early 1900s, Boulton and Paul Ltd was a general manufacturing firm based in Norwich, England.
		After World War I, Boulton and Paul made their mark with the introduction of powered and enclosed defensive machine gun turrets for bombers.
		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.

	Boulton Paul Sidestrand
		With 3 air gunner positions the Sidestrand was intended for unescorted daylight bombing missions against precision targets and proved well able to defend itself in mock fighter attack trials.
		Sidestrands of the 101 Sdqrn performed regularly at the Hendon shows in mock air combat with the fighters of the day, initially with Siskins, and later with Bulldogs.
		Although the Sidestrand's gamely antics, such as spinning, impressed the crowds, it was becoming clear that increasing speeds in combat made the open nose gunners position almost untenable.

	AIRCRAFT
		The Span and length was the same as the Sidestrand but the height was 15 foot 6 inches and the Bomb load had increased to 1600 lbs.
		In 1933 Boulton and Paul designed the Mail Plane to fulfil a requirement of Imperial Airways for a craft of "reasonable speed", 1000 pounds payload and a range of 1000 miles.
		Boulton and Paul Aircraft production in Norwich ceased around 1936 when it was moved to a new factory in Wolverhampton.

		Other civilian uses included the De Havilland DH.61 Giant Moth and DH.66 Hercules, the Junkers G31 (which would evolve into the famous Junkers Ju 52), and the huge Dornier Do.X[?] flying boat, which used no less than ten.
		Military uses were less common, but included the parent company's Bristol Bulldog[?], as well as the Gloster Gamecock[?] and Boulton-Paul Sidestrand[?].
		It was also found in prototypes around the world, from Japan to Sweden.

	RAF History - Bomber Command 60th Anniversary
		Designed to Specification 9/24, the Sidestrand made its maiden flight in 1926.
		Surprisingly agile for a bomber due to the power of the two 460hp Jupiter engines, the aircraft looped, spun and role with ease - properties which impressed watchers at the annual Hendon air displays in mock combats with RAF fighters.
		At a passing glance, the Overstrand was visually similar to its older brother, the Sidestrand but featured improved engines in the shape of Bristol Pegasus engines which gave better performance and bomb-carrying capability, an autopilot, enclosed cockpit with heating and (a first for the RAF) powered gun turrets.

		It was as fast and manoeuvrable as contemporary fighters yet carried a bomb load equal to the standard RAF heavy bomber, the Vickers Virginia.
		The Sidestrand carried many technical innovations, which, unfortunately, delayed its entry into service with 101 Sqn.
		Boulton Paul's solution was the Overstrand, an improved Sidestrand with the world's first powered air gunner's turret in the nose.

		A fully aerobatic and improved replacement for the Boulton and Paul Sidestrand day bomber, the Overstrand was the first RAF medium bomber to feature a totally enclosed power operated (pneumatic) gun turret.
		The Sidestrand was the RAF's first twin engined day bomber since the De Havilland 10 of 1918 and first flew in prototype form in 1926.
		Highly manoeverable and a rock-steady gun and bomb platform, the Sidestrand exclusively equipped 101 Squadron from April 1928 to December 1934 when the unit became the sole complete unit of its successor, the Overstrand.

		They did get the elegant Hawker Hart which was used for colonial work.
		The Hawker Hart couldn't hold a lot of bombs under it's wings unlike the Boulton Paul Sidestrand which carries 1,600 lbs of bombs under it's wings.
		But with this big bomb load gave it less speed, unlike the Hawker Hart which could reach 184 mph and the Boulton Paul Sidestrand can only do 140 mph.

		The Defiant was a fine aircraft, but the tactical concept was bad and the weight of the gun turret detoriated performance.
