Blackburn Aircraft

Many aircraft manufacturers had outsourced work during the war and she may be at one of these outstations, known as Shadow Factories. Blackburn, unfortunately went the way of many of our
aircraft companies, but their last product was the Buccaneer, which followed such aircraft as the Skua, Roc, and Beverley. Not many of their designs were successful, the Botha having a poor record of servicer, as did the Firebrand. I thinkl the two-seat biplane trainer, the B2 is still flying. Rather unusual for its day in having side-by-side seating.
