The Blackburn B-2 was a biplane trainer with side-by-side seating, designed and built by Blackburn Aircraft as a successor to the Bluebird IV and sharing much of that design. Its main difference was a semi-monocoque all-metal fuselage similar to the one on the Blackburn Segrave touring aircraft. The prototype first flew at Brough on 10 December 1931, and the type was noted for excellent manoeuvrability and responsive controls. The Royal Air Force was the only air force to adopt it, as part of its expansion programme, while civilian flying schools flew many through the 1930s. In 1942 the remaining aircraft passed to the Air Training Corps as instructional aids, and one is still kept flightworthy by the Shuttleworth Collection.
