Thanks for the website plug James.
I have begun a new page of surviving/preserved Boulton Paul (and the former Boulton & Paul) airframes and parts, including turrets. See link.
Denys, I will contact the BP archivist to check for the Type C manual. Please send me your eMail address so we can continue this off-board.
Cheers,
Mark
