Blackburn Kangaroo

Pioneer and Early Aviation Aircraft

The Blackburn R.T.1 Kangaroo was a British twin-engine reconnaissance and torpedo biplane of the First World War, built by Blackburn Aircraft. It was a twin-engine tractor biplane of wood and fabric construction, developed from the earlier Blackburn G.P. floatplane. A Kangaroo flown by Lt E. F. Waring spotted the submerged German submarine UC-70 on the sea bottom near Runswick Bay on 28 August 1918. In the first months of 1919 many converted aircraft kept flying in military markings, then the survivors were repainted with civilian registrations and commercial titles, and in August 1919 three Kangaroos flew to Amsterdam for the ELTA air traffic exhibition and gave flights to about 1,400 passengers.
