Blackburne (motorcycles)
Blackburne was a trade name of Burney and Blackburne Limited a British manufacturer of motorcycles from 1913 to 1922 at Tongham near Farnham, Surrey. They were also a major supplier of engines to other motor cycle and light car makers and continued to make these until 1937. Burney and Blackburne also made small aircraft engines. Blackburne motorcycles The origins of the Blackburne motorcycle engine start with Geoffrey de Havilland, who had designed and built a motor cycle before he became interested in aviation. In about 1905 he sold the designs and patterns to two student friends for £5 when he was short of money, and they went on to form the Blackburne engine company. A patent for adjustable belt pulleys for motorcycles dating back to 1912, shows Cecil Stanley Burney, Edward Alexander (Alick) Burney, and pioneer aviator Harold Blackburn trading as Burney and Blackburne (not Blackburn), operating from Northchurch, Berkhamsted. They were incorporated shortly afterwards as Bur ...

Blackburne Airport
W. H. Bramble Airport, formerly known as Blackburne Airport, was an international airport on the east coast of the island of Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. It was named after Chief Minister of Montserrat William Henry Bramble. History Blackburne Airport was founded in 1956 under the leadership of William Henry Bramble. The airport received a major extension in 1961 with Canadian funding. A 3,400 foot surfaced runway was opened on 16 August 1967. During the 1960s, Leeward Islands Air Transport maintained twice-daily service between Montserrat and Antigua and five days a week service between Montserrat and Saint Kitts and Nevis. Planned airport expansion in early 1995 was complicated by the fact that the nearby settlement of Trants was the site of archaeological excavation, and the UK Overseas Development Administration funded a 17-week mitigation project in order to evaluate sites located within the airport development area. After a more than decade- ...
