Title: "Blackburn B-24 Skua II L2885 undergoing Engine Proving with a Bristol Perseus XII Radial This photograph showcases the Blackburn B-24 Skua II, registration number L2885, undergoing engine proving at the Bristol Aeroplane Company. The Skua II, a versatile British naval dive-bomber and fighter, is seen in this image with a powerful and advanced engine, the Bristol Perseus XII radial. The Blackburn Skua II was a significant aircraft during World War II, serving both as a dive-bomber and a fighter for the Royal Navy and the South African Air Force. Its distinctive design, featuring a cantilever wing and retractable landing gear, made it a formidable presence in the skies.

The Bristol Aeroplane Company played a vital role in the development and production of the Blackburn Skua II, as well as numerous other aircraft throughout history. Their expertise in engine design and manufacturing led to the successful integration of the Perseus XII radial engine into the Skua II, contributing to its overall capabilities and success in combat. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the intricate relationship between the aircraft industry, engine development, and the military during wartime.
