History
The origin of Blackburn is with Robert Blackburn who built his first aircraft in 1908.
The 'Blackburn Aeroplane & Motor Company' was created in 1914. A new factory was built at Brough, East Riding of Yorkshire in 1916. Through the acquisition of the Cirrus-Hermes company in 1937. Blackburn started producing aircraft engines - the Blackburn Cirrus range. The name was changed to 'Blackburn Aircraft Limited' in 1939, and the company amalgamated with General Aircraft Limited in 1949 as 'Blackburn and General Aircraft Limited'. By 1958 the name was Blackburn Aircraft Limited. It was absorbed into Hawker Siddeley in 1960 as part of the rationalisation of British aircraft manufacturers, and the Blackburn name was dropped completely in 1963.
