The Blackburn R-1 Blackburn was a British single-engine fleet spotter and reconnaissance aircraft of the 1920s, built by Blackburn Aircraft to meet a naval requirement (Specification 3/21) for a carrier-based reconnaissance and gun-spotting aircraft. The pilot sat in an open cockpit above the engine, a navigator sat inside the fuselage and a gun position was located at the rear of the cabin. Three prototypes flew during 1922, leading to a first production contract for 12 aircraft. Deliveries of the Blackburn I to the Fleet Air Arm at Gosport began in April 1923, and 18 more were built in 1923 and 1924. The type became obsolete in 1931 when the Fairey IIIF replaced it.
