[Technical Data] [Expo/Images] - [ Blackburn] [ Navy and carrier based aircraft 1919-1938] [ Trainer 1919-1938]

The Roc was developed from the Skua. It should be a
carrier-based aircraft which could kill unfriendly
bombers with a broadside. It was too slow, so the
Roc became a trainer and target tug with the RN and
RAF instead.
