I'm willing to chip in if anyone is interested. It would be an investment. A very, very long time ago I was a trainee AEOp on this type and recall that I sent many messages on our 3 hour sorties reporting on Russian surface and sub-surface units which we had detected in uk waters.

What on earth we needed an expensive Nimrod fleet for I don't know. Let's buy 'em, fly 'em and rent the service back to the government.

That's the retirement plan sorted out then. I'll even get the first round in in the Salutation IRaven.
