The Blackburn Type D, sometimes known as the Single Seat Monoplane, was built by Robert Blackburn at Leeds in 1912 for Cyril Foggin. It is a single-engine mid-wing monoplane, a wooden, fabric-covered single-seater powered by a 50 horsepower Gnome rotary engine. For the first time Blackburn fitted a rudder bar in preference to his earlier triple steering column, and the aircraft first flew late in 1912. In 1913 the basic design was developed into the two-seat Blackburn Type I. Restored shortly after the Second World War, it remains part of the Shuttleworth Collection and is the oldest British flying aeroplane.
