She is almost complete internally although I have not made much progress over the past year due to a Spitfire Memorial project. XV148 remains in the dry, the flight deck can be powered up and she awaits seats to be refurbished, outside repainted and a few small items to be installed.

That’s the Nimrod that trialed the Martell anti ship missile on the wing pylons.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of the beak structure (above the radome).

XV148 Nimrod restoration

Still progressing, but slowly due to house moves and work. Sourcing parts to enable next stage in the flight deck. Hope to paint strip this year and begin some real progress on the rebuild.

It’s been a while. Still no updates? The website hasn’t been updated for a while either.
