I’m sorry, I find it hard to believe that the RAF would have a Nimrod in the air over a residential area for a number of hours due to the wife of one of these bombers being arrested hours earlier. The Police would have had the house searched ages before (unless they had requested the Nimrod to jam radio signals, yeah right). If this were the case they would have had them airborne a few weeks ago when more terrorist suspects were arrested in the same area.

If this ‘was’ a Nimrod there would be more chance of it training using the LBA beacon like some of the AWACS did last year at higher altitude.

Nice guess work, but it doesn’t add up.

Plus they would off not used a nimrod but a police chopper instead:confused:
