	BLACKBURN B20
		The Blackburn B20 is one of the least known British aircraft designs of the Second World War.
		Three companies tendered designs for R1/36, along with the Blackburn proposal Saro and Supermarine both put forward projects (the Supermarine type 314 tendered was one of the last design projects RJ Mitchell had a hand in).
		The pilot was Blackburn's test pilot Flt Lt Harry Bailey, with him were Ivan Waller a Rolls-Royce flight test engineer, Fred Weeks a Blackburn flight test engineer together with Duncan Roberts and Sam McMillan both Blackburn aircraft riggers along to monitor instruments during the flight.

	The Grumman F4F Wildcat
		At the time, Leroy Grumman's aircraft company, at Bethpage on Long Island in New York state, was building the "F3F-1" biplane carrier fighter, evolved from the FF-1 ("FiFi") that the company introduced in 1931.
		* As the F4F-3 emerged, it was a stubby, barrel-like aircraft, with mid-mounted square-tipped wings and a sliding frame-style canopy.
		At least one Martlet IV was modified by Blackburn Aircraft with six launch rails for "60 pounder" rockets, but the fit was not adopted operationally, possibly because the cluttered launch rails cut into performance too much.

	Blackburn Beverley
		At the same time, Blackburn Aircraft Ltd was looking for additional work to keep its Brough factory busy, and saw good future prospects in the GAL design.
		This aircraft and the second off the line were retained by the manufacturer to carry out additional flight testing.
		In a (hopefully) unique display of neglect and incompetence, the aircraft was allowed to deteriorate to such a state that in 1990 it had to be cut up for scap.

		It appears that the aircraft was aircraft was subsequently dismantled at Errol, and sent to Fairey's Hamble factory for repair.

	Aircraft (Science Tracer Bullet - Science Reference Services, Libraryof Congress)
		Aircraft can be classified as fixed-wing, rotary-wing, flapping-wing, and lighter-than-air.
		Unlike a lighter-than-air vehicle such as a balloon or blimp, whose weight is balanced by an upward buoyancy force, a heavier-than-air aircraft must be propelled and maintained in the air.
		These volumes are intended to be a factual story-telling account of little-known facets of the early formative years of the aircraft industry.

		Aircraft followed a landmark (road, railway or coastline) with the landmark to the pilot's left side.
		In Britain the aircraft makers were building the Bristol Brabazon, a massive and under-powered turboprop airliner which was rejected by the airlines as uneconomic to fly.
		Handley-Page Aircraft would not bow to government pressure to amalgamate into a British nationalised aircraft manufacturer and so the RAF orders for the Herald were dropped and the aircraft was not successful in the UK.

		The company flourished through the war years and the proximity of the River Humber meant the factory was ideally situated for the launching of seaplanes.
		In 1949 the company amalgamated with General Aircraft Ltd and in 1955 won a contract to supply a new aircraft to the Fleet Air Arm.
		In 1960 the company became the Hawker Blackburns Division of of the giant Hawker Siddeley Aviation Combine which in 1965 became simply Hawker Siddeley, Brough, and later part of the British Aerospace Kingston-Brough Division.

	Gloster Aircraft
		By 1918 the company was capable of producing 45 aircraft a week, but the end of the war brought a halt to orders and the company began to struggle.
		The Company’s name proved unpronounceable to overseas buyers, so in 1926 it was changed from ‘Gloucestershire’ to ‘Gloster’, which is what they had been calling their racing aircraft anyway.
		As well as aircraft, the company was at the cutting edge of new technology regarding variable pitch propellers and undercarriages Rotol and Dowty being very closely associated.

	Systems of Designation
		During the period from 1909 to 1919, there was no organized system of designation for Army aircraft; all aircraft were operated by the designations of individual manufacturers.
		Aircraft were designated by a letter assigned to the current manufacturers.
		However, on March 10, 1923, it was decided that the emphasis should be placed on type of aircraft, not the manufacturer, so the manufacturer's letter was placed after the mission letter.

	Swordfish (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		All Blackburn built Swordfish were affectionately but unofficially referred to as “Blackfish”, and some experienced pilots claimed that they could tell the difference when flying a Fairey or Blackburn machine.
		Swordfish aircraft have the distinction of being one of a very small number of aircraft which were in operational front line service at the outbreak of the second world war, and still in front line service after the declaration of peace in Europe.
		The other two aircraft in the first sub-flight were also shot down having first dropped their torpedoes; five of the six aircrew survived, and were rescued by MTBs.

		They built 55 Bluebird IV Aircraft, which were all-metal biplanes.
		After the prototype was built, Sir Henry Segrave died on Lake Windemere on 14th June 1930, trying to raise the water speed record even further, and so only the prototype and three other aircraft were ever built.

		The Blackburn Roc, developed from the Skua, was the first Fleet Air Arm aircraft to have a power-driven gun turret.
		The first prototype was sent to the Aircraft and Armament Experimental Establishment at Martlesham Heath in March, 1939 for handling and performance trials, and in July 1939 the first production aircraft L3060 was sent to IAD Flight, RAE Farnborough for tests.
		The aircraft was shot down smoking by HA fire and both of the crew killed.

		I had seen an advertisement for ground staff with a flying training school company and subsidiary of the Blackburn Aircraft Company, situated at Brough in East Yorkshire, equiped with Blackburn-B2 training aircraft.
		This aircraft was similar to the DH82 (Tiger Moth) but had the student pilot and instructor located in two cockpits side-by-side instead in tandom, with the pupil seated behind the instructor.
		Whilst there I continued my studies and one day when I was working on the aircraft, the foreman, Harry Hughes, came up to me and said "Geoff, I wonder you don't have a go at this and become a pilot on the Reserve".

		The products of the Blackburn Aircraft Co are becoming a bit of an obsession and taking up a disproportionate share of the space.

	Blackburn Roc
		Also note that the second aircraft has a reflector gunsight and there is a gun camera mounted near the wing root.
		The fairing aft of the turret and the section of cockpit "greenhouse" between the pilot and turret were raised and lowered automatically to allow the turret to be rotated without obstruction, hence the difference in profile between the aircraft.
		Many books on World War II aviation that mention the Roc,- even Putnam's " Blackburn Aircraft since 1909",- state that the Roc never made any carrier flights at all, - they most certainly did, and not just training flights either (see combat history above), this is confirmed in the combat reports of the squadron's involved.

	Aviation Worldwide: The Blackburn Aircraft Company
		By 1914, the Blackburn Aeroplane and Motor Co. Ltd had been formed, based in Leeds, and had taken its place in the ranks of the British aircraft history.
		By the time the First World War ended, Blackburns had become a major supplier of aircraft for the armed forces, particularly those associated with the sea.
		In the inter-war years, the company's activities were gradually transformed to its erstwhile seaplane base at Brough, on the Humber, where its great three-engined flying boats mingled with Fleet Air Arm Dars, Baffins and Sharks on the shop floor and in the Air.

		During early 1942 the Ministry of Aircraft Production and Gloster Aircraft Company were anxious about the delays in the supply of engines for the F9/40 the forerunner to the Meteor.
		Both Rover and de Havilland were running very late with deliveries of their engines and as a contingency Gloster offered a single engined design for the Ministry's approval.
		He joined the company in 1939 at the Stress Office at Blackburn Aircraft company and was involved in early work on the Beverley.

	Brief History
		The first operational aircraft were the Whitley twin-engined bombers of 77 Squadron, although these were soon replaced by Handley Page Halifax four-engined bombers.
		This aircraft crashed into a farmhouse on the B1228 near the airfield and a memorial to the four German airmen and the two civilians who were killed stands outside the house.
		In the early 1960s, the Blackburn Aircraft Company at Brough, near Hull, used the runway for test flying the prototype Buccaneer aircraft.
