The Blackburn Flamingo is a Crafitanyan jet-powered strategic bomber developed and produced by Blackburn from 1950s to late 1970s. It was the first jet-powered bomber to be operated by the Republic of Crafitanyan Air Force (RCAF). Entering service in 1958, the bomber was used for experimentation for different payloads and other roles, including nuclear deterrent.

The Flamingo was joined later by two other bombers, the Eagle and the Ostrich, both of which produced by the same company. The Flamingo, although retired from service, was used to develop the future bombers and other types aircraft such as the Flamingo I and the Flamingo II.
