I've always loved the look of this aeroplane, Bleriot's XXVII in the RAF Museum's collection, with its blended hori stab and stylish all-moving rudder and hood over the engine to stop the pilot being showered with castor oil from its rotary radial.

The exact origins of this machine are unknown; it was gifted to the MoD before the RAFM became a thing as part of the Nash Collection and it is believed, but not ultimately certain that it was the aeroplane that Bleriot built in his 'summer holidays' in 1911 and flown from Hardelot Beach by Alfred Le Blanc, Bleriot's pilot, reaching an unofficial speed of 130 kph, having been designed as a racing machine.

the Bleriot XXIV.

From Pegase 1992.

Bleriot beginnings where humble and chaotic too. He was nicknamed "l'homme qui tombe toujours" "the man who is always falling". Things went slightly better from 1907 and Bleriot VI, but it took until Model XI for major success.

He just “got it.” Everything recognizable almost right from the start

Found on the internet on this site :

Avions moches, bizarres, ratés, projets abandonnés et aviation insolite.​

This photo is attributed to the Blériot BQM prototype from the end of 1915. It seems that the machine was a remarkable failure and remained without follow-up ... Does anyone know more about this subject ?

I'm looking at the excellent Docavia book dedicated to Blériot-Aéronautique (Blériot, SPAD, Blanchard, Guillemin) and on page 111, there is a small full front view of that aircraft. All it says is:

"The number of that Blériot with four Anzani engines is not known, but the type appears to be a direct derivative of the LIII [53]."

In the recap table on page 237, they write:

LX (?) ................ 4 AN 10A4 ................ 100 ch ................ B ................ 1916 ................ 1 ................ Four-engine bomber

So Louis Blériot (the author) makes a hypothesis that it may have been the Type 60, but with no guarantee.

Dear colleguaes!

Haven't somebody the e-book
Abbott M., Bamforth J. The early development of the aviation industry. 2019. Routledge. ISBN 978-1-138-36874-3.

It seems that in Chapter 5 the authors wrote that about 900 Bleriot XI were built between 1909 and 1914. Couldn't you, please, print the exact quote and a page number?

Thank you in the advance.
