The Blackburn Type E was a development of the earlier Blackburn Mercury single-engined monoplanes, innovative in its use of steel tubing to construct the fuselage. It was built during 1912 to compete in the Military Aeroplane Trials, and it was powered by a 60 horsepower four-cylinder water-cooled inline Green engine. A single-seat version flew first, in April 1912, and was painted grey, acquiring the name L'Oiseau Gris; it was entered for the round-London Aerial Derby of June 1912 but scratched as unready. The military two-seater was very like the first machine, but when tested in June 1912 it was overweight, failed to fly and was withdrawn from the Larkhill trials.
