The Blackburn Bluebird IV was a single-engine biplane light trainer and tourer with side-by-side seating, an all-metal development of the wooden Bluebird I, II and III. It was more streamlined than its predecessors, larger and heavier, with a simplified structure that was easier to build, and it could be fitted with engines such as the de Havilland Gipsy, ADC Cirrus and Cirrus Hermes. The first prototype flew on 23 February 1929. Saunders-Roe built 55 aircraft between late 1929 and May 1931 because Blackburn lacked capacity, and Boulton and Paul made the wings. Several privately owned examples made pioneering long-distance flights, the most famous being the round-the-world trip by Mrs Victor Bruce.
