OK, OK... my mistake--- and I apologise to Jackonicko for that part... and only that part... of my statement.
HOWEVER, that just goes even further in supporting my point... THAT Nimrod was from the days when a fighter type rarely even used a catapult to take off from a carrier... and had a landing speed of 50-70 MPH... rather than 120+MPH!!
See note added in my earlier post.
