Blackburn Aircraft

Industrials

Blackburn Aircraft Limited was a British aircraft manufacturer from 1914 to 1963 that concentrated mainly on naval and maritime aircraft. Robert Blackburn and Jessy Blackburn built their first aircraft in Leeds in 1908, the Blackburn Aeroplane and Motor Company was created in 1914, and it established a factory at Brough in East Yorkshire in 1916. Robert's brother Norman Blackburn later became managing director. The firm bought Cirrus-Hermes Engineering in 1934, changed its name to Blackburn Aircraft Limited in 1936 and built a second factory at Dumbarton in 1939. It amalgamated with General Aircraft in 1949 and reverted to Blackburn Aircraft by 1958. Its aircraft and engine operations were absorbed into Hawker Siddeley and Bristol Siddeley in 1960 and 1961, and the Blackburn name was dropped in 1963.
