Blackburn Aircraft

Vehicle and Equipment Manufacturers

Blackburn Aircraft Limited was a British aircraft manufacturer from 1914 to 1963 that concentrated mainly on naval and maritime aircraft. It was founded by Robert Blackburn and Jessy Blackburn, who built their first aircraft in Leeds in 1908, and the Blackburn Aeroplane and Motor Company was created in 1914 with a new factory at Brough in East Yorkshire from 1916. The name changed to Blackburn Aircraft Limited in 1936, the firm made Cirrus aircraft engines from 1937, and it opened a factory at Dumbarton for the Botha in 1939. It amalgamated with General Aircraft in 1949 and reverted to Blackburn Aircraft by 1958. Its aircraft included the Ripon, Baffin, Shark, Skua, Firebrand, Firecrest, Beverley and Buccaneer. Its aircraft production and engine operations were absorbed into Hawker Siddeley and Bristol Siddeley in 1960 and 1961 and the name was dropped in 1963.
