The Blackburn T.R.1 Sprat was a British single-engine, two-seat biplane trainer, built in 1926 for advanced training, deck-landing and seaplane experience. Just one was built. The fuselage centre section was built around a tubular-steel structure that linked the engine mounting to the wooden-framed rear fuselage. It was designed to Air Ministry Specification 5/24 as an RAF advanced trainer and Fleet Air Arm deck-landing trainer, and the specification asked for a type readily convertible to a seaplane. Three machines were built to it: the Vickers Vendace, the Parnall Perch and the Sprat. The Sprat had strong family resemblances to the earlier Velos torpedo bomber, folding wings for carrier stowage and a 275 horsepower Rolls-Royce Falcon III engine. After comparative trials at Martlesham Heath the Vendace was judged best, but economy cuts meant no orders were placed with any manufacturer.
