Good evening Graeme

It is indeed The Blackburn N.1B one of the three contenders for the Admiralty N.1B specification (with Supermarine and Westland). Put into storage on cancellation, the Hull was used in the construction of the Pellet in 1923! I wonder if it was in FH's book ?

Do those little stripes in the tail have anything to do with its nationality? Or they just bought it?
