A sad time indeed for fans of true British aircraft. The Nimrod is one of those aircraft much like the DC3/C47. how do you replace it?. with another one. AND with the Harriers going too. well. The powers that be have made an almighty emu up (Like a c*ck up, only bigger) with this one. hmmm, let me see, a four year capability gap. Russian subs to worry about?. maybe but I’d worry about possible goings on in another, somewhat larger and colder bit of water. I can almost hear those sabers rattling already.
Still. they could always go to Davis monthan with their cap in hand to uncle Sam and get hold of a fleet of P3’s. And last time I looked on goolies earth there were a shed load of AV8A’a there (but that was some time ago)
Not all doom and gloom though, There is always the one going into the safe hands of the Lusty Lindy crew. That means there will be at least one ready to roll if need be. and a Victor to refuel her. 😉
