This compilation of first-hand accounts of flying RAF Nimrods from the Cold War onwards includes stories from the Falklands, the First Gulf War and anti-drug-smuggling operations in the Caribbean. Pilots, observers and electronics operators recall how the first jet-powered maritime aircraft was deployed, often in rescue missions and anti-submarine warfare, for which its state-of-the-art navigation and electronics systems were essential, and describe the cancelled Nimrod MR4 project.
