Was wondering what it was, missed the flypast and just saw brief footage from the ac with doors closing.

Nice bit of wescam footage there... Suprised the BBC got the downlink...

Wonder if the BBC will fund an HD wescam for MRA4, didn't look so good on BBCHD :P

Nimrod MR2 - Flypast of Murryfield

Shame the BBC only picked up the download post the on top. Though the airbrakes did look pretty...

Thanks fellas it was a good start to a frustrating game. On top, on time!

Hope they let the crew watch the game through the wescam rather than missing the whole thing going home...

Not quite superbowl stuff, but great to see anyway, still a few coffers in the bank for some Avgas, well done guys, the flight would have been better than the game.

Was at Murryfield 2 years ago, think the fly past was the best bit of passing in the game

The all-English Nimrod crew obviously had a technical malfunction; this is what the flypast should have looked like...

Fantastic!
Awesome job, guys...quite emotional with the Mighty Hunter flying into the sunset....
Great job, tho'. Bang on time. Right down the centre line (trust me). Superbly professional, as ever. A real credit to the MR2 and all at RAF Kinloss.

I was lucky enough to fly on the same MR2 as a pax last Wednesday as it did its practise run over the stadium, so it was great to see it on the Beeb, although a pitifully brief glimpse and sadly no mention of the retirement.
Thanks again to all concerned at Kinloss for a great visit!

15 y/o rugby-mad son (totally indifferent to aircraft) was in the stands - says this was the best bit of the match! Not just referring to the quality of the game - he loved the way the sound built and reverberated, made it a real event-opener.

Hoots

Did you get your sense of humour from that other great Scotsman of mirth - you know the one who allegedly has one eye and is an idiot?

Nimrod was actually 'Crewless'

you can see the model aircraft enthusiasts with the remote control standing on top of stadium next to flags.........largest model aircraft ever built ........you didn't think crew would find some way of not missing the match?

Ah, the TACP boys with the WESCAM download link, perchance?
