I thought that these shots from last Saturday might be of interest. BAE Systems are currently in the process of scrapping the Nimrod MRA4s following the cancellation of the project in last October's Strategic Defence and Security Review.
If it stops raining, then I should at some point be able to go and get some shots of the aircraft at night.
Cheers,

Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Nice pics, I'd love to see them at night
I thought the Nimrods were to be equiped with CFM56s?

Thanks for the comments.
Martijn, the Nimrod MRA4 used Rolls-Royce BR710 turbofans.

Cheers for posting, Martin.
Although it´s sad to see, the image quality is just amazing!

Re: Woodford - Where Nimrods go to die...
Thanks much for putting up your quality photos. But most aviation enthusiasts will either feel rather sad seeing them or have their blood boil over with rage...

Sadly another era goes by. I have only four pictures of this great plane.
