2 Vaughan Williams Questions

Ok, I have two questions concerning the Vaughan Williams Concerto:

First- in Mvmt. 1 after rehearsal 2 bar 32 is the B a Bb or a B natural? I have two copies of this and one says Bb which, of course, adds some tritone-ous feel given the up beat is an E, but my other copy has B natural and while it doesn't feel as comfortable to the fingers, it really doesn't sound better at all.

Secong- also in Mvmt. 1 second bar after rehearsal 10 after the Eb is it a general concensus to breathe here or later, perhaps after the C in the same bar. Or, stated another way, do you view the C as a lead into what's to come or an ending to what's been stated?

Thanks in advance

Eric
