Двухместный истребитель и буксировщик мишеней
Roc / B-25
Параллельно с пикировщиком "Скуа" строился палубный тяжелый истребитель "Рок", созданный на его базе. От бомбардировщика он отличался уширенным фюзеляжем и размещением вооружения (4x7,9) в экранированной турели. Опытный образец истребителя поднялся в воздух 23 декабря 1938 г. Всего в Бру выпустили 133 "Рока".
На вооружение самолет поступил в феврале 1940 г. Ими частично оснастили две эскадрильи, размещавшиеся на базах на побережье Англии. Никакой информации об их боевом применении не имеется. В конце 1940 г. эти машины были заменены новыми истребителями "Фулмар" и "Си Харрикейн" и переданы в учебные и вспомогательные подразделения. Часть "роков" при этом переоборудовали в буксировщики мишеней.
Производство завершено в марте 1940 г.

NOT-SO-MYTHICAL. According to the encyclopaedia, the roc was a fabulous bird of the East, so huge that it bore off elephants to feed its young. The Blackburn Roc, of which details are now released, is neither fabulous nor gigantic, but it is obviously a very efficient two-seater fighter for the Fleet Air Arm. It closely follows the lines of the Skua, and the engine is a Bristol Perseus. Either a retractable wheel undercarriage or a float undercarriage may be fitted.

Designed to fulfil a similar role to the Defiant, but constricted by stringent naval requirements and its less powerful radial engine, the Blackburn Roc was fitted with the same Boulton Paul Type A four-gun turret as its RAF counterpart. By the time it flew in 1938, British interest in 37mm armament for air-to-air fighting was on the wane.
