The Blackburn T.5 Ripon was a carrier-based torpedo bomber and reconnaissance biplane designed and built by Blackburn Aircraft, and the basis for both the licence-built Mitsubishi B2M and the improved Blackburn Baffin. It was designed as a successor to the Dart and as a long-range reconnaissance aircraft to meet Air Ministry Specification 21/23, around the Napier Lion V engine, and it drew heavily on the Velos coastal defence seaplane. The first prototype flew on 17 April 1926 and was then redesigned with a better engine installation, an enlarged rudder and more wing sweepback. The Fleet Air Arm operated it between 1930 and 1935. Ripons were also produced in Finland, where they flew nighttime reconnaissance in the Winter War and the Continuation War.
