When I stopped at the warehouse selling my artwork I check the video department while waiting for the manager, seems they over stocked and they were in $8 price range.

Definitely one to keep on the shelf, not only for the Nimrod but the entire lineage and Comet history, I knew be one you really like, I did see this one NZTV in the early mid 1990s.

That's correct, .. very same doc, ad free TV Sundays .. So so long ago , I also have it on VHS, and unit is still brand new but since Mars liked sleeping on top of it it needs to go in the shop, but you can pick up a copy at your local warehouse as mentioned above at $8 bucks.

That is one variant not covered in the doc , even had an uglier sister with the two radromes each end .. turns out the aircraft was fine but Marconi/GEC could not get the bug's or prices went up on the AWACS system making it farcical and opting for the E3
