Talk:Blackburn Botha

Named after?
Does anyone know if the Botha was named after Louis Botha, as the name does not fit in with the normal Air Ministry naming scheme?

... never mind, I suspect it was named after Frederich Botha, who explored South Africa in 1678. Land-based General Reconnaissance aircraft were named after explorers, e.g., Anson, Beaufort, Hudson, Shackleton, etc.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.55.42 (talk) 10:23, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Mathematics
Brough built 382 aircraft and Dumbarton 200, a total of 580. Even if Brexit is expected to change many things, I dare hope mathematics are unaffected :) ? Jan olieslagers (talk) 10:13, 8 August 2020 (UTC)


 * also the cruise speed exceeds the maximum speed...?2A00:23C4:3984:3400:6C63:C578:CDF5:D0D3 (talk) 00:34, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * You arn't comparing like with like - the cruise speed is not at sea level (it's at 15000 ft accoding to Mondey) - this is also the consequence of someone deciding to randomly mix the specs from two different, contradictory references.Nigel Ish (talk) 10:42, 25 September 2020 (UTC)


 * @Nigel: thanks for the correction, build numbers look quite ok now. Jan olieslagers (talk) 11:30, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
