Was thinking, unless I'm mistaken, there were some (or many) that didn't warm to the nimrod and thought that the procurement of it wasn't so good, too costly, there was a better alternative. Can someone point in the right direction for information about this if possible?

Old dog, Facebook won't let me see your video 
It says due to it either being removed or privacy settings. Anybody else having problems, or is it just because it's a "you ain't seen me, alright" movie

Mods please help!!
Can someone please tell me how to upload a video, I've read the prune guide in FAQ but can't find the manage attachments feature referred to there. Looking at the foot of this page it says I may not post attachments - can I change this?

Nimrod R1 Update 5/7/2011 from Aeropark - East Midlands
Nimrod R1 Update 5/7/2011
Negotiations with the RAF/MoD and DSA have now been completed and everything is now in place for Nimrod R1 XW664 to be purchased by the Aeropark to become the latest addition to our collection.
'664' returned from operations on Friday 24th June and has since been at the 'R1' retirement event on 28th June and on static display at the Waddington International Air show on 2nd/3rd July.
The last flight of '664' will be on 12th July 2011 when she will be delivered to East Midlands Airport where some decommissioning work will take place before she is finally moved into place in the Aeropark where she will be on display to the public.
It has yet to be confirmed but this could be the final flight of a Nimrod and this may be the only 'R1' variant left in existence.
The Aeropark will open at 09:00 on 12th July for people wishing to see the Nimrod arrive at the airport. It is anticipated that the Nimrod will take off from Waddington between 10:00 and 10:30 and will arrive shortly after this as it is only a short flight.
The Nimrod R1's were operated by 51 Squadron at RAF Waddington and their role was reconnaissance and gathering electronic intelligence.
There were three Nimrod R1's operated by 51 Sqdn one was taken out of service in 2009 and the remaining two remained in service until June 2011. One (XW664) will be coming to the Aeropark the fate of the other two is yet to be confirmed.
