Arrow Aircraft
Arthur Cecil Thompson, a designer with Blackburns responsible for the Bluebird IV established his own firm in 1930, Arrow Aircraft (Leeds) Ltd. Two prototypes were produced but these attracted no orders and the company just produced components for aircraft in a unit at Yeadon Aerodrome until 1951[6]
