Cold and wet Newcastle 23/02/06

The Nimrod was very loud as it powered back up after a low approach……..

Thanks for all the comments.

nice shots there who operates eastern airways

It’s leased from Cirrus Airways to fly the NCL-LCY.

By the way, that Nimrod doesn’t look like an MR4 to me. The engines don’t look round enough, and I’m sure there’s a ram air intake on the tail fillet of the MR4.

I agree with you on that,Lance.

Excellent shots Chris :).
