In today's special video we're taking a look at the early designs of the Blackburn Aircraft Company. Blackburn has a bit of a reputation for having designed some...interesting planes over the years, but Blackburn himself pioneered many early designs, and early Blackburn aircraft contributed much to early aviation - particularly early British aviation.

Producing these videos is a hobby of mine - and apparently its now a full-time job too! I have a passion for history, and personally own a large collection of books, journals and other texts, and endeavor to do as much research as possible. However if there are any mistakes, please don't hesitate to reach out and correct anything :)
