Great screenies Marty!!!

Was just reading an article about the Nimrods in a mag recently, amazing to think that it was based on the Comet, and that the UK until as late as last year were seriously close to giving the fleet a makeover to extend their life even further, that woulda meant a 60yr old airframe design/influence still in active service, awesome stuff, bit like the good ole' B52 in that regard I guess
