Blackburn Bluebird

General Aviation and Light Aircraft

The Blackburn L.1 Bluebird was a British single-engine biplane light trainer and tourer with side-by-side seating, built in small numbers by Blackburn Aircraft in the 1920s. It was a wooden single-bay biplane with folding wings and a single side-by-side cockpit. The prototype first flew in 1924, but problems with the engine, which failed to give the expected power, meant that it could not compete in the 1924 light aircraft competition. Later wooden Bluebirds included a Bluebird II fitted with floats and a Bluebird III prototype that carried an ADC Cirrus engine as a testbed for the all-metal Bluebird IV. The last wooden Bluebird was destroyed in a firefighting demonstration in 1937.
