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.
