    but the aft toilet compartments remain intact & very interesting.

    ?? Whilst all old plane stuff is interesting, what is so very interesting about a toilet?? I am intrigued! (I admit there is an interesting DH125 toilet story in Ken Gregory’s autobiography)

    I wonder if the problem with the nose shape could have anything to do with the line which runs through the nose, top to bottom of the picture. It looks to me as though the original photo has been scanned in and the end of it might have been creased and bent round a bit, hence foreshortening the nose view giving the steep rake effect. Anybody think there’s a chance this could be the explanation?

    The Boulton Paul is a rare aircraft that we have on our site and if it means customers coming in and paying to see the airframe, which in turn funds us and keeps us going, would you still wish it went to Cosford?

    Think about it![/QUOTE]

    Whilst I don’t want to cause offence on my first post on this site, the “correct” place for this airframe seems to me to be the Boulton Paul museum at the BPA factory.
