Blackburn Velos

Flying Boats and Seaplanes

The Blackburn T.3 Velos was a British two-seat coastal defence seaplane of the 1920s, designed by the Blackburn Aeroplane and Motor Company at Brough Aerodrome and constructed by the Greek National Aircraft Factory. A small batch of four aircraft was also built at Brough in 1925 for the Greek Navy, which operated the type as a torpedo bomber. The first production aircraft, with a 450 horsepower Napier Lion engine, was launched and tested in March 1926, taking off from Phaleron Bay. The Velos was a seaplane derivative of the Blackburn Dart, and the later Blackburn Ripon drew heavily on its structure.
