This B-2 was built in 1936 and is the only remaining airworthy plane of the type. It was delivered to Flying Training at Hanworth but went to Bough in 1939 and retained by Blackburn Aircraft as all other B-2 were taken over by the RAF. Post-war it was fitted with a more modern, powerful enging and used for training by the Blackburn-sponsored Bough Flying Club. The aircraft was transferred to the Shuttleworh Collection from BAe Systems in March 2022.
