BOULTON-PAUL BALLIOL

$9.95

Title: Boulton-Paul Balliol No’s 1 and 2

The Boulton-Paul Balliol was an advanced training aircraft designed to replace the Harvard aircraft.  It was originally designed for a gas turbine engine, and the first prototypes used this. However the RAF changed its specification largely due to large existing stocks of Merlin engines, and the type was re-designed to utilise this engine. It won the RAF contest over the competing Avro Athena and large orders were placed.

However the RAF again changed its training requirements when an all-jet training scheme was introduced using the De Havilland Vampire T.11 in 1951, and the military career of the 229 Balliols built was short. 30 examples served with the Royal Navy as the Sea Balliol, and 12 examples were exported to Ceylon.

We offer two titles for the Balliol which include three flight manuals (called pilot’s Notes) for the Boulton-Paul Balliol, plus the maintenance manual (called Air Publication Volume One) and two manufacturer’s publicity brochures. The files have been scanned from the original manuals and retain any colour pages. Each title is US$9.95.
