The Blackburn B-5 Baffin was a biplane torpedo bomber designed and built by Blackburn Aircraft as a development of the Ripon. The main change was a 545 horsepower Bristol Pegasus I.MS radial engine in place of the Ripon's Napier Lion water-cooled inline engine. Designed by Major F. A. Bumpus and pursued at first as a private venture, it was a conventional two-seat single-bay biplane of mixed metal and wooden construction with fabric covering. It first flew on 30 September 1932 and entered Fleet Air Arm service in January 1934, with many Ripons remanufactured to the new standard. The Royal New Zealand Air Force bought 29 second-hand aircraft in 1937 for reserve and training duties.
