One flew slowly over my school in North Manchester about 30 years ago, and did a few manoeuvres. Something I'll never forget. It was huge, yet so graceful in the air. A jaw-dropping sight for a teenage kid.

cock.
Your name is that of a nuclear bomber, did you not realise?
I thought the Nimrod was a radar in the sky.
It was an old "Comet" and what a pile of old shite that plane was.

Ha ha, the only thing that the Nimrod ever dropped in anger was an echo sounder
The Comet however which was the basis for the Nimrod was a lethal weapon in itself, if the plane didn't crash, the engines deafened you or the food served by Dan Air would really finish you off.....Flew on one of the last flights to Tenerife before they went out of service
The Nimrod was a great bit of kit before the salesmen convinced the government that is could do much much more. The version with the big beak was created and it was downhill from there I reckon. It met its match with the AWACS or Sentry cabs from the US
