Time has flown so I can confirm Noyade was is correct - the Greek built KEA Chelidon ("Swallow")

I think it was the second aircraft designed & built in Greece . They had a lot of technical support from Blackburn. According to the reports there wasn't much wrong with it except its performance was poor cp more recent, foreign aircraft. I suspect it was seriously underpowered - as I said the prototype soldiered on to around 1938 so it was a well built airframe

One of the few better looking Blackburn designs !

I presume the little propeller is driving a target winch.


PS Is it a Blackburn Roc?

Noyade 22nd Mar 2022 05:37

It is a target winch. Not a Blackburn Roc.

I call that a Blackburn Botha.

The meat isn’t that bad especially when cooked a point.

Can't bring myself to eat part of the national coat of arms. Never tried it - never will. :)
