In January 2006 BAe Systems, which is building the new aircraft, discovered cracks in the rivets holding fuselage sections together. In repairing this problem the fuselage skin beneath the rivets has been found to be corroded. As a result, all Nimrod aircraft now in use will have to be checked.
And who is going to check them when theres a shortage of groundies and were are they going to get the money from ????
