BOULTON & PAUL P75 OVERSTRAND PROTOTYPE

Click to expand...

The Overstrand prototype J9186 was originally ordered as a Sidestrand Mk.III and was modified with supercharged Bristol Jupiters with Townend rings as pictured here, and was intended as the first Sidestrand Mk.IV, which, at the time the photograph was taken, was what it was referred to as in official paperwork. It differed from production Overstrands as they had Pegasi fitted. Production Overstrands were fitted with a power operated turret, note the absence of one here, as it was still a Sidestrand at this point. It was eventually fitted with the turret and had the Jupiters replaced to represent the final configuration of the Overstrand.
