N114 was the second of three Blackburds (not Blackbird). It was used for torpedo trials at East Fortune but was also tested at Martlesham Heath and Gosport. Built at Brough, Yorkshire. Blackburds needed to release their undercarriages to release their torpedoes. They landed on skids or ditched. N114 had floats under the wings to aid buoyancy. Lost out to the Short Shirl which as later cancelled in favour of more Sopwith Cuckoos. N114 was used for spares for N115 which flew on into 1919 as a station hack.
