Kinloss Nimrod MR2 Gate Guard
 

It appears Kinloss finally has a Gate Guard!

Forgot to say, the IPT man said today any interested parties / museums etc can make approaches to them for bits as the MR2s get cut up from next year, nominal fees apply. The major players have been in touch & a number of deals have been arranged already so 'come on down'. PM me if details req'd.

Wot? More off-roading?

Nope XV240 was towed up to crash gate 3 todayn near the Kinloss to Roseisle road. It is now resting on the freshly laid concrete blocks.

Well done to all that were involved.

:ok:

Hooray!
 

Excellent news. Now, since it was impossible to get the jet to the main gate, is anyone looking into relocating the main gate to the aircraft??:)

Hope it wasn't that freshly laid, it'll be down to the axles by closing time.:)

When is it being replaced by an MRA4?

Are you sure it isn't another one of those ever popular SLT exercises? Also I hope that there is a set of steps nearby to expedite the inevitable acqusition of spares.

Hope it has better luck than the Shackleton they tried to put there.

MGD,

As a serving member of HM forces I found myself supportive of most of your posts. Now I am out my perspective has changed. Do yourself a favour mate, get out, stop worrying so much, it's not worth it. I fully support better everything for our forces but you are changing nothing by stirring things on here. I was often asked "if you don't like it why don't you get out?" So I did. Life is so much better when you stop fighting a system that you cannot beat. I'm not having a go mate, just making an observation from the outside, I don't come home angry anymore, like I used to do most days. Loads of stuff I miss but I'm not carrying that frustration around any more.

Regards

Mad,

I obviously caught you at a bad time. Sorry mate.

Surely it MUST be possible to have got it to the main gate?

Well done Rab..........and good effort.:D

Agree with all of the above! Apart from the stupid, naive MRA4 post.
Well done Rab of Coastal.
She looks magic!!!

Agree with all of the above, including MGD's post - it's called B A N T E R. Get over yourselves. Well done Rab, a fitting tribute.
