"BLUEBIRD" DEVELOPMENT: This latest model of the Blackburn "Bluebird" (Genet engine) embodies improvements suggested after experience with the Mark I machine. It is adaptable to both land and sea chassis, the two pontoons being constructed of duralumin and supported by a steel tubular structure attached to the same fuselage fittings as used for the land chassis. A land type is now touring England with Mr. Charles Blackburn in charge.
The Suffolk and Eastern Counties Aero Club at Hadleigh, near Ipswich, had five Blackburn Bluebird IIs with 80 h.p. Genet II engines. G-EBRE is seen here in its original colours; it was eventually repainted, but lasted less than 2 1/2 years before being damaged beyond repair at Hadleigh on January 6, 1930.

A wolf in sheep’s clothing, G-EBGF was a Bristol Type 76 Jupiter fighter, so-called because of its 425 h.p. Bristol Jupiter engine fitted into a Bristol F.2B fighter airframe. Appearing at the 1923 Hendon RAF display, it also appeared at the Gothenburg International Aero Exhibition.
