Forget control yokes, throttle levers, placards, what you need is some little hideaway where you can sit and reminisce whilst perusing ones log book, pun intended...


Ex RAF Brand New Nimrod Aircraft Toilet Unit | eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140713736425#ht_5199wt_768)


:ok:

Though perhaps this is the ultimate big boys toy... You might even get it past her indoors, by telling her you are going to get her a new kitchen..

Ex RAF Brand New Nimrod Galley Unit | eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ex-RAF-Brand-New-Nimrod-Galley-Unit-/130656943784?pt=UK_CPV_Aviation_SM&hash=item1e6bc2bea8#ht_4207wt_962)

Or even a new wardrobe for the bedroom


eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ex-RAF-Nimrod-Wardrobe-Unit-Brand-New-/130656954872?pt=UK_CPV_Aviation_SM&hash=item1e6bc2e9f8#ht_5500wt_770)

At this rate I reckon we could by a complete Nimrod in parts for off evil bay.

Find me a sonobuoy rotory launcher to replace the central lampshade in the kitchen which I can turn into a cold beer dispenser.

Then, and only then, the bidding commences.

A bit difficult for the "all you ex Nimrod'ers" to "relive your past" considering those items are brand new and were made for installation in the MRA4 - something that the vast majority of us never got to fly :{

Put some legs on this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nimrod-MR-2-Pilot-Seat-Aircraft-XV232-Used-Very-Good-Condition-EX-RAF-/140713614888?pt=UK_CPV_Aviation_SM&hash=item20c32f5e28#ht_10451wt_1026) and it would make a fine bar stool for an ex-kipper fleet aviator. Suspect it comes free with the remnants of 41 years worth of genuine pilot flatulence too......

:ok:

Nice to see they have an incontinence slot in the seat base for the older skippers.

I think the bog unit would look great in a camper van.










(Come to think of it, it looks FAR better than my home)!

Be very interesting to see what the final bids are.

Perhaps HMG are in the wrong business and should flog off their excess bits themselves and pocket the cash.

Keep your eyes open for a dimmer switch. I'm wanting one for my bedside table...help me drop off at night.
