  Blue Large Amplitude Pulsators (BLAPs) are blue stars showing high amplitude
(>0.2 mag) pulsations on a timescale of a few tens of mins. They form a new
class of variable star recently discovered using OGLE data. It has lead to a
number of investigations searching for the origin of these pulsations. This
short study presents the Gaia DR2 data of ten BLAPs which have parallax
measurements. We have dereddened their colours using Gaia DR2 data from the
stars in their immediate field and find that six show absolute magnitude and
intrinsic colour consistent with expectations, whilst four stars have a less
certain classification. This work highlights the extra information which Gaia
DR2 data can provide to help classify those variable stars which do not
currently have moderate resolution optical spectra and make searches for BLAPs
in wide field high cadence surveys more systematic and robust.
