Really top quality shots there Splitpin- that Nimrod is gorgeous!

Lovely lovely shots Marty, and yeah the Nimrod is certainly an interesting beast, looks fantastic in these shots.

The Nimrod another RAF run down , mind you it really has severed its time , Marty you must have been present at the Fincastle trophy at Edinbourgh couple times with RNZAF P3s ... don't think the ole Panther would have been there tho

but a pity the Nimrod has left the skies for good.

Not bad for an aeroplane from the 50s really.

Thanks guys

Not at Edinbourgh, but a few here and in Oz......even lucky enough to score a ride in a Nimrod......back then they (RAF) were cleaning up every comp, they had found the sub before they took off The best Fincastle i was involved with, gave me the chance to do a patrol in an CAF Argus.....what a beast.....smoke , noice, vibrations ,.....just awesome.

Just finish watching 'Memphis Belle' AGAIN ... talk about reruns , but a ride in aN ARGUS .. recall same type but four engines as used by the bou .. man that would have been great

It was Ian.....even got to sit in the seat right in the nose......felt like a goldfish, but great. I remember when they left after the exercise, we loaded about 3 pallets of butter into the aircraft......must have been cheap at the time......but thats not important right now

Very very well done !!!

Thanks Dani , sometimes a black and white can be as good as colour, if not better.

very very nice Marty, love the Nimrod what a machine !,...really like how you processed the colours., wondering if you might have known my old man from being with the P-3's and c-130's ?..he did his share of Fincastle Competitions..
