Storia

L'origine dell'azienda si deve al pioniere dell'aviazione Robert Blackburn il quale costruì il suo primo velivolo nel 1908. La Blackburn Aeroplane & Motor Company venne fondata nel 1914. Nel 1916 venne costruito un nuovo stabilimento a Brough, nella contea dell'East Riding of Yorkshire. Grazie all'acquisizione della Cirrus-Hermes company nel 1937, la Blackburn iniziò anche la produzione di motori aeronautici, la serie Blackburn Cirrus. La ragione sociale dell'azienda venne cambiata in Blackburn Aircraft Limited nel 1939, e successivamente, nel 1949, si uniì alla General Aircraft Limited formando la Blackburn and General Aircraft Limited. Dal 1958 la denominazione aziendale tornò ad essere Blackburn Aircraft Limited. La produzione venne assorbita dalla Hawker Siddeley Group nel 1960 mentre quella relativa alla produzione dei motori dalla Bristol Siddeley, come parte della razionalizzazione della produzione aeronautica stabilita dal governo britannico, ed il marchio Blackburn venne completamente abbandonato nel 1963.
