This photograph showcases the Boulton Paul Overstrand high-speed day or night bomber of No.101 (a) Squadron, as it roars down the runway with the power of its two Bristol Pegasus 600hp engines at full throttle. The Overstrand, a British military aircraft manufactured by the Boulton Paul Aircraft Company in the 1930s, was a significant advancement in aviation technology for its time. Its sleek design and advanced features, including retractable landing gear and a fully enclosed cockpit, made it an impressive sight to behold. The Overstrand was primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) for day and night bombing missions, making it a crucial asset during the interwar period. Its high-speed capabilities enabled it to outrun enemy defenses and deliver payloads with greater accuracy and efficiency. The aircraft's two Bristol Pegasus engines, each producing 600 horsepower, provided the necessary power to propel the bomber to its target. This photograph captures the raw power and determination of the RAF during the 1930s, as they prepared for the challenges of the future. The Boulton Paul Overstrand, with its advanced design and impressive engine power, was a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the British aircraft industry during this era. This image is a fascinating glimpse into the history of military aviation and the pivotal role that aircraft played in shaping the course of the 20th century.
