The sole Boulton Paul P. 111, VT 935 was contracted in November 1946 under Specification E.27146 to research delta wing handling at high speed and first flew some three years, nine months later, on 6 October 1950. The P.111's sole stable-mate, the P. 120, VT 951 employed the same basic wing and fuselage, but carried a much modified fin and rudder, to which had been added an all-flying, or slab tailplane mounted two-thirds up the fin. The P.120 first went aloft early in August 1952. Quite what these machines were envisaged to achieve with the relatively modest 5.100lb s.t of their single Rolls-Royce Nenes begs a host of questions. The highest speed known to have been reached by the P.111 in level flight was Mach 0.935 at 35.000 feet, or 622mph, during 1953 trials. (Boulton Paul)
