Nimrod Question
If you are sat in either of the Pilot's seats on a Nimrod, is the refueling probe visible out of the windshield? Or do you have to lean forward to see it?
Anyone got any pictures that may show this?
Cheers!

Yes it is visible without leaning forward.
Check out pics on line of the old gal and you'll see quite how long the probe is. www.airliners.net - search for nimrod - lots of pics.

Stbd,
Trust you to know where all the really sad spotter pics are. Probe can be sean quite well from flight deck, seats are lowered during AAR to give a better picture though.

The best view was kneeling on the floor just behind the pilots, in front of the eng.
I remember a radio silent night AAR on ops somewhere over Iceland in the mid-80's ...I spent the whole time watching...excellent

Got some pics taken during AAR from the port beam and from the cockpit. If you want some just PM me with address and I will gladly post them on!
Sortie was a while ago (2002) but still relevant for your needs methinks.

Another Nimrod Question
What is/was the flight control feel system on the Nimrod ?
TPs at Boscombe Down were highly critical - unacceptable - of the spring feel system fitted to the Comet 2C and required a change to Q feel. (half rho V squared).

Dave,
Is it really a good idea to create a website about yourself, saying what you do, photo, etc
I bet the RTI guys would love that, if you ever end up on a CSRO course 
Your 'Bio' page must give them lots to 'talk' about
MadMark!!!
p.s. Do the rest of your colleagues know that you have plastered their photographs on the Internet ?

Charlie - Many, many more stories on that particular subject since you left. My favourite is the episode on THE bridge at Curacao - apparently the locals have changed the picture on the appropriate postcard to suit ............
SB - been baiting any pilots yet you 'orrible little man ???
Regards will be passed on to the Doris.

Mike,
I know nothing about what was, or is now, in Daves profile. He has left a much better trail that leads straight to all you want to know about the ex-206 baby nav and his colleagues
As for your other comment, well you have just exhibited your accute lack of knowledge on the role of the Mighty Hunter in the Royal Air Force of today

My profile hasn't changed, but you could have a point about the bio page...
if an interrogator started singing reading my favourite poem to me I might just crack... we'll have to wait and see:-)
RIP Douglas Adams.

As those of us in the know will no doubt be aware, pictures of the mighty hunter's crew being posted on the web may undoubtedly be used by the ball twisters on RTI.
Many thanks to DB for allowing the identities to be made public.
