Yep harm to the fleet from people who dont even work on them and have no idea how its operated. Its all Nimrod but it would make nice compariative reading to other aircraft in service. I think that would quash any rumours that have now been started on the Nimrod basically being an unsafe fire hazard that everytime it gets airborne a fire will start.
For what its worth and this maybe little on this thread, the Nimrod has saved hundreds if not thousands of lives in its career, its been involved in every major conflict, its been at the heart of most disasters around the UK and 24/7 365 days a year it waits to launch to help a sailor/fisherman in distress. many take that protection for granted and have no idea she is there to help but she will when she is asked. Richard Branson is one of a few famous names thats appreciated the help of the kipper fleet. So sure find all you want wrong , but just dont foget the good, the guys out in Afghan that were taken from us were doing good and had probally saved hundreds doing what they do. Sometimes things dont add up and nature is cruel. One thing for sure is that aircraft will have done its utmost to get them guys home as its a life saver too.
