Nimrod at Kinloss

Re-posted from another forum:-

Evening all,

Mate of mine posts on another forum and found out about a project to save a Nimrod still at Kinloss, XV244. Thought I’d ask the same question here and elsewhere as I’d not heard about it either.

“Whilst browsing the old tinterweb to see what was going on with Kinloss (I’m ex-Lossie), I stumbled on a piece from a local paper saying that some people were trying to save a complete Nimrod, XV244. I thought the last ones at Kinloss had been scrapped to be honest.

The article (and others) state that 2 groups are involved with this jet, Morayvia and the Nimrod Heritage Group. Does anyone know what the state of play is with this idea, or what the intentions of these 2 groups are? There’s not been much to say about it recently.

Must admit, it’d be a fitting tribute to all those who’ve served at ISK on the Nimrod, I hope one of these groups can come up with a decent plan.”

Seems like a good idea, anyone know anything?
