"Then the twin-engined Side- strands of No. 101 Squadron were detached to deal exclusively with the aircraft carriers Within 54 minutes of their take off they were dropping bombs on the big ships some 70 miles away." The Daily Telegraph, 25.9.33. " The twin-engined bomber affords a very steady platform and a very high percentage of hits is obtained even from greater heights Coming in to land was celebrated by an amazing performance of stunt flying. The Sidestrand, notwithstanding she is big, has almost the nimbleness of a scout." The Morning Post, 25.9.33. "One of the most successful air attacks was launched by No. 101 Squadron against the Red Fleet's capital ships Renown, Malaya and Warspite the twin-engined Boulton & Paul Sidestrands, the only Blue Force machines, according to some views.capable of carrying bombs sufficiently heavy to damage a capital ship—set out, located their objectives from a height of about 9,000 feet, and swooped to attack in line ahead, each machine dropping his theoretical bombs as it passed."
