Is there a Blackburn Blackburn at the museum?

The nearby aviation museum probably did not have a Blackburn Blackburn, but a carried image of the aircraft had become a conversation piece with Royal Canadian Navy personnel.

Question

Does the nearby heritage museum have a Blackburn Blackburn?

Short answer

Probably not. The group had brought a depiction used to discuss the aircraft's unusual design.

Notes

The nearby aviation museum probably did not have an actual Blackburn Blackburn. The visiting group had instead brought a portable image that could be used to explain the aircraft's awkward design. Royal Canadian Navy personnel had also asked about the image. The collection question therefore receives a cautious answer: the sighting was an image, not an aircraft confirmed in the museum.
