  There must be a mistake here. The Blackburn Swift (two bought for evaluation) never received any US Navy title. The FT-1 (or TF-1) was the Fokker T.III also bought for evaluation. Stig

Blackburn Type D monoplane from 1912 Mercury

from SDASM Archives

  In Rory's Streetview, I see a celtic cross at right, which I think would be visible if present. The NIAH dates it at 1925.

• Niall McAuley said:

  I don't see a Blackburn Draper in Moate in the 1911 census, but Frank Blackburn is 24, living in Athlone with his parents and is a Commercial Clerk in the Woollen trade.
