Скачать или смотреть Blackburn B2

The Blackburn B2 was developed as a trainer from the Blackburn Bluebird IV light aircraft. A convential fin and rudder replaced the earlier machines rudder only and the fuselage was aluminium clad and made incredibly strong to withstand the knocks of instructional flying. A unique feature of the B2 compared with other trainers of the time is the side by side seating arrangement of pilot and instructor that allowed better communication than the traditional tandem cockpits. G-AEBY is owned by BAE Systems and is the last airworthy B2, although the remains of G-ACBH are also in existance. It came to the Shuttleworth Collectionin March 2008 to join Avro Nieteen and DH60 Moth as part of the BAE Systems Heretage Flight.
