I flew around 6,000 hours on the Nimrod, a fair proportion of those with important bits of kit either not working or not even present in the first place. Some days, out of the serried ranks of aircraft sat out on the Line, only very few were truly serviceable.
You were obviously based at Kinloss! I never had problems like that in all my happy & serviceable years on 42 (TB) Sqn!!
