Off Road Nimrod
Other forums are reporting a drama at Kinloss involving a 4x4 Nimrod going cross country across the airfield. Hope no injuries ladies & gents if true,

Oi, Oilcan,
A bit over-the-top methinks!
Whilst you may not like it, KIT is correct (as far as I know) that nobody was hurt. As a consequence, as suspect that the 'jockey' was indeed subject to a little banter at happy hour at ISK - no doubt his ego is a little bruised today. Thankfully, nothing else is!
Had this been more serious; I suspect so would KIT's response.

Crikey Oilcan sorry if the word ego or jockey upset you , it was meant in good faith as nobody was hurt.
Pride would have been a better choice of words but words has not been my strong point on Pprune , and just for info I got a pretty good idea more than you think

Vage,
I am sure that you are correct. I suspect that KIT was using 'ego' in the sense of self-esteem - I know I was.

Come ON . . . are you ALLOWED to use the word 'jockey' and 'ego' in the same sentence?
Standards are just SO low on this forum. (They let ME post!!)
Glad everyone is safe - SOD the hardware (wet turf . . . !! etc)

Is it a case of taking care and attention over recovering a valuable asset (which probably isn't being scrapped for at least 9 months!), or an indication that the ability to routinely undertake heavy lifting work on airfields (keeping runways open, etc) disappeared with the end of the cold war??

Sorry for my, slightly 'fattest, truckie' post earlier.
However, back to the facts:
What is the max x-wind a Nimrod is cleared for? If I guessed, I'd say about 25Kts. (quite cheeky! particularly, with a jet that lands at about 130 kts????)
ISK or its partner, often have blows better than that? so, what's the story fellas??
