So what was its name

edit

The article title refers to it as the "Boulton & Paul Overstrand," but the text says it was the "Boulton Paul Overstrand." I've also seen the airplane referred to as the "Boulton-Paul Overstrand" and the "Boulton and Paul Overstrand." So which is it, Wiki?173.62.39.116 (talk) 00:19, 4 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

The confusion is caused by the comapny changing its name just as the Overstrand was being built. Before 1934 it was "Boulton & Paul" it then become "Boulton Paul Aircraft". This equally confuses all the reliable sources who use the "as designed" comapny name or the "as built" company name sometimes in the same article. MilborneOne (talk) 12:25, 4 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
