The Roc was a two-seat fleet fighter fitted with four-gun power driven turret. 136 production aircraft were built by Boulton Paul and delivered from 1939. Unsuccessful in role and relegated to shore-based training and target-towing duties until retirement in August 1943. Obtained from Manchester Airport 50 years ago.
