Talk:Boulton Paul Balliol

 A couple of queries for someone with good BP sources.

• • • Was the Sea B undercarriage strengthened for decks landings? It was a common mod for other aircraft, and one web site does say this but it would be nice to have an authoritative source.

No, Boulton Paul had streessed the original undercarriage to high descent rates and loads.--Petebutt (talk) 04:45, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

• • • Numbers: everyone agrees on three prototypes and 30 Sea Bs, so the question is how many T.Mk2s, including the RCA group. We say 196, though the way it's worded could exclude the RCA order. The Cosford website says 199. AJ Jackson, in his Blackburn book says 183; maybe he missed the 12 RCA machines. If so, the disagreement is not large, but annoying. The only clear statement of 12 RCA comes from the Cosford site, so it would be good to have independent backup on them.TSRL (talk) 22:09, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

The Sea Balliol was certainly stressed for deck landing - there is a photo of one landing on in Thetford's British Naval Aircraft since 1912what level of strengthening was required over the straight Balliol is uncertain.Nigel Ish (talk) 23:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
