when did Tommy Flowers invented "Colossus", the world's first electronic, digital, programmable computer.
It depends on what you mean by computer, but the first electronic, partly programmable computer was the colossus computer built by Tommy Flowers in 1943.

The first electronic digital computer was built in 1942. Called the ABC it was built in Ames, IA by John Vincent Atanasoff & Clifford Berry.The first programmable electronic digital computer was built in 1943. Called Colossus Mark I it was built by Thomas Flowers and a team at the Dolis Hills lab of the British Post Office for Bletchley Park. Through 1944 and 1945 up to the end of the war in Europe 10 more Colossus Mark IIimproved models that used parallel processing to run 5 times faster were built.The first programmable electronic digital computer using a stored program (like all modern computers) was built in 1948. Called the Manchester Baby.

That was the name of the first programmable electronic computer, and it was used to break codes used by the Germans.

The first electronic programmable computer was known as Colossus. Please see the related link. The Prototype 'Colossus Mark 1' was working in 1944. The first freely programable computer was the Z1 built between 1936 and 1938.
Since an Abacus is technically a computer, I can only assume you mean the third binary electronic computer. This was called "Colossus Mark 1" and was developed in the UK to read encrypted German messages during World War II.The Colossus machines were the first programmable, digital, electronic, computing devices and went through several revisions so if you define a computer in this way, a Colossus machine would still have been the third computer device ever to be constructed.After World War Two all the blueprints and Colossus hardware were destroyed in the interests of National Security and it was not for many years that its designers would receive the credit they deserved for the world's first programmable electronic computer.
The first programmable computer, the Colossus computer, was designed and employed by British codebreakers to help read encryped German messages during WWII.

Bletchley Park, the site of world War II British code breaking and Colossus, the world's first programmable electronic digital computer, is within the town boundaries of Milton Keynes.
