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.
