Although bearing the RAF serial number F2903, this Boulton and Paul P.7 Bourges IA flew as a civil aircraft, first as K-129 and later as G-EACE. This highly manoeuvrable two-seat day bomber was powered by a couple of 320 h.p. ABC Dragonfly radial engines.

In the photograph of the Boulton & Paul "Bourges" (two A.B.C. Dragonflies) one may without stretching one's imagination too greatly see the forerunner of the modern "Sidestrand." Its first claim to publicity was the stunt flying at Hendon in the hands of Frank Courtney.

The Boulton and Paul "Bourges," with Napier "Lion" engines, is remarkable for its extreme manoeuvrability, and on Saturday, in a sham fight with two Nieuport "Nighthawks," with Bristol "Jupiter" engines, it was repeatedly looped, rolled and spun, manoeuvres not usually possible with large twin-engined machines.

The twin-engined Boulton and Paul bombers have been almost unrivalled in their class on the score of manoeuvrability. This photograph was secured from a spinning Bourges soon after the war.
