Kinloss Nimrod MR2 Gate Guard

[Duncan D'Sorderlee]

MGD,

We can get a little tense up here at ISK - we are getting kicked in the slats from all directions and trying to stay as professional as possible; hence the bites!

I think that Rab will be long gone before there is a requirment for an MRA4 gate guard, so it will probably never happen!

PS Rab, do you not think that it would look better if it was pointing the other way

C'mom Betty and Mad Eng, get a sense of humour. As someone else has said it's banter, nothing more, nothing less. Life's too short to 'go off on one' over this.

Oi oi. Hardly going off on one!!! I just think 240 looks magic, and there's little need for the usual prune boll*cks that ALWAYS accompanies anything Nimrod on the threads!
Have a nice day now.

But how long will it be there.... Good rumours are there is a blue one waiting to take its place and XV240 will go back on the flypro...

Slightly off topic: 7.45 pm fri nite at officers mess - look up and cover your ears!

On time. On target (ish - about 12' right of track!). Well done CXX.

Nimrod Parts for XV148

Hi, I am trying to source various items for the restoration of the nose of the Prototype Nimrod XV148, who would be the best contacts to see if anything can be made available during parts recovery ?
Thanks XV148

I see the Nimrod on the gate at Kinloss has gone.

Does anyone know what has happened to it?

[Rakshasa]

This lot may know....

XV240 was removed as part of the RAF Kinloss drawdown/Nimrod disposal project. It is either waiting to be, or has been, chopped up.
