Tapper's Dad:One Question - If a Nimrod has a fire in the Bomb bay is there any way to extinguish it. No speculation please just facts
There have been lots of replies to this question, but very few knowledgeable answers. The Nimrod MR2 does NOT have a fire suppression system for the bomb bay.
The bomb doors can be opened in an attempt to blow out any flames (although this may exacerbate the problem) but there are no fire extinguishers that can reach the bomb bay.
The fire bottle in the galley can only be used for under-floor fires in the hydraulic, aileron and elevator bays, all of which are above the bomb bay.
