Narrative:
While on final to runway 11, bed, I had a near miss with a light single engine aircraft that was flying downwind almost on the extended centerline. Tower advised the aircraft to follow me. There was a TA with no altitude readout thus we didn't get an RA. The other aircraft wasn't visually spotted until it was too late for evasive action. The traffic pattern was a mixture of jet and light aircraft complicating traffic spacing. Also we were within the 30 NM bos mode C veil.

Title: FLC OF LR60 HAS NMAC ON FINAL APCH WITH A SINGLE ENG ACFT ON 'DOWNWIND' ON CTR OF FINAL APCH.
Narrative: WHILE ON FINAL TO RWY 11, BED, I HAD A NEAR MISS WITH A LIGHT SINGLE ENG ACFT THAT WAS FLYING DOWNWIND ALMOST ON THE EXTENDED CTRLINE. TWR ADVISED THE ACFT TO FOLLOW ME. THERE WAS A TA WITH NO ALT READOUT THUS WE DIDN'T GET AN RA. THE OTHER ACFT WASN'T VISUALLY SPOTTED UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE FOR EVASIVE ACTION. THE TFC PATTERN WAS A MIXTURE OF JET AND LIGHT ACFT COMPLICATING TFC SPACING. ALSO WE WERE WITHIN THE 30 NM BOS MODE C VEIL.
