HS Nimrod – RAF Maritime Patrol Aircraft
‘Gone but not forgotten’
Designed to replace the aging (ancient!) Shackleton the Nimrod was the first jet powered maritime patrol aircraft. Operational from 1970 until 2010 the Nimrod was a genuine workhorse providing maritime, search/rescue, anti-submarine, electronic surveillance and intelligence gathering duties. The flexible performance capability was well illustrated during the Falklands campaign when a 19hr sortie gathered critical data about Argentine surface ship operation. The UK has been left with a gaping hole in maritime ops with the cancellation of the replacement aircraft - plus ca change!

Have been interested in photography since just after WW2, when film became freely available again, using Kodak Autographic equipment. Graduated, in the 50's, to 35mm and was involved in photographic work during my 17 yrs as RAF aircrew - navigator. Since retirement and migrating to Canon digital equipment have been involved with two of my sons and one grandson in a considerable amount of photographic activity, particularly composite images. Now producing digital art prints with the major emphasis on classic warbird aviation. With son, Duncan, now becoming a well-known and published wild life photographer we have started, in 2017, a new gallery reflecting Scottish sea birds - and 'feathered' flight
