Nimrod MR2 was also equipped to carry Sidewinder for Op CORPORATE. I was OC Armament at the base that did the necessary mods on Phantom LAU-7A launchers in double quick time over the Easter Bank Holiday long weekend 8-11 April 1982.
A Nimrod was flown in to enable a trial fit on underwing pylons.
I seem to remember carriage of BL755 and Harpoon being considered as well but that was outside my bailiwick at the time.
