Blackburn Blackburd

Pioneer and Early Aviation Aircraft

The Blackburn Blackburd was a British prototype single-engine torpedo bomber developed by Blackburn Aircraft in 1918 as a replacement for the Sopwith Cuckoo. In January 1918 the Admiralty issued specification N.1B seeking such a replacement. The first Blackburd flew in May 1918 and was delivered to Martlesham Heath for evaluation against the Short Shirl, and the second and third aircraft were fitted with an enlarged rudder. The type was unsuccessful and only three were built.
