A NEW NIGHT BOMBER: The Boulton &. Paul "P.32" is fitted with three Bristol Pegasus engines.
Unlike the P.32, which is seen here at Hendon, the D.H.72 never made a public appearance

Evident in this view of the P.32 are the slats on the upper wing leading edge.

The Boulton and Paul P.32 had more curvaceous lines than its D.H. counterpart. Engine changes and consequent technical problems caused much delay.

Completed by Glosters, the D.H.72 was almost abandoned by their test pilot on its maiden flight.
