Nimrod MR2 Prints (Merged)
 

A former Nimrod mate, currently serving in Germany, has started a website to auction a Nimrod MR2 oil painting and limited edition prints to time with the demise of the Nimrod MR2. All proceeds go to Help for Heros. Its well worth a look.
MODs I know its shameless advertising but hopefully you will allow this thread to stay. :ok:

Good thread, I've just registered. I can smell the hydraulic fluid & the Jez paper already! Where's my dish of honker's stew?

Bonjour French Nav,

I have now read said question, and have registered my interest!

GH.

Any chance of an update from Nimrod Help for Heroes Admin?


OK I was just bouncing this back to the top again:E

Boing :):)

No answer to the question of making this 'sticky' either........

:hmm:

134 expressions of interest so far, so looks like the project is a goer.

You are now able to donate your money via the website which reserves your print. Previous work of artist available to give you an idea of how the Nimrod print will look. Hope to have artists initial sketches available on the website for viewing soon.
All details are available on the website, 150 interested so far!
For those who have paid already, thank you for keeping the faith. 'Power to the Hunter.'

Looks like they are already selling fast. Get in quick for the low print numbers.

Mrs Z has just bought my Birthday present; must remember to tell her!

Thanks, got my print too. It should arrive a little after my Bday... :)

That's impressive, 40 sold already! Don't forget that only the first 260 are signed and that a number of those 260 (Sqn Numbers and aircraft numbers) will be auctioned separately at a later date.

Apparently number 22 has been particularly sought after. Shame there is no smilie with blacked out eyes! Shades will have to do!!:cool:

Over 60 prints pre-pay sold in a day and a half, with 176 registered as interested. Details now firming up.

Nimrod MR2 in Desert fit
Coastal scene, poss man o hoy
Sub masts
2 x silouette of UK troops in the background.

Ideas are still welcome on the website, initial drawings are underway.

Power to the Hunter:ok:

The advertising campaign is obviously now starting to pick up momentum. Saw the story in this weeks Northern Scot yesterday and understand there was also an interview on Guernsey Radio. 71 prints now sold, so getting close to the point where all the costs are covered (as detailed on the website).

Well thats my £50 in

Back to the top

Regards at all in the frozen north

Paid mine.
Boing :)

Over 200 registrations and nearly 100 of the 260 signed prints sold already.

Thanks for your support :ok:

We are obviously deemed to be too blunt an aircraft to warrant a Sticky, whereas FJTS which will have had far fewer aircrew serve on it than the Nimrod Fleet has in 41 years, well that's that a different matter.:oh:

Nothing new eh?
