Does anyone know if the Botha was named after Louis Botha, as the name does not fit in with the normal Air Ministry naming scheme?
... never mind, I suspect it was named after Frederich Botha, who explored South Africa in 1678. Land-based General Reconnaissance aircraft were named after explorers, e.g., Anson, Beaufort, Hudson, Shackleton, etc..— Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.55.42 (talk) 10:23, 10 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

You arn't comparing like with like - the cruise speed is not at sea level (it's at 15000 ft accoding to Mondey) - this is also the consequence of someone deciding to randomly mix the specs from two different, contradictory references.Nigel Ish (talk) 10:42, 25 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Nigel: thanks for the correction, build numbers look quite ok now. Jan olieslagers (talk) 11:30, 25 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
