I don't know how the size of the Nimrod bomb bay compares with aft and fwd cargo bays on a 747 400 but I do know there is considerable fire protection on a Boeing. MR2 is a make do aircraft, in these Nimrod plus roles. But really, the MRA4 is supposed to be a brand new aircraft there is no excuse for it not to have the latest levels of protection. FFS the P3 had fuel tank protection 30 years ago. Are we really going to bring in another generation of Nimrod ac without adequate fire and fuel tank protection?
