The Nimrod is a maritime patrol aircraft developed in the United Kingdom. It is an extensive modification of the de Havilland Comet, the world's first jet airliner. It was originally designed by de Havilland's successor, Hawker Siddeley, now part of BAE Systems. A major modification was the fit of a large weapon bay under the fuselage that can carry and drop torpedoes, mines, bombs and other stores. Sonobuoys for tracking submarines are dropped from special launchers in the rear of the fuselage.
It has been the Royal Air Force's primary Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) since the early 1970s, when it replaced the piston-engined Avro Shackleton. The RAF uses two Nimrod variants: the MR2 variant in the Maritime and Reconnaissance role; the R1 variant in a reconnaissance and electronic intelligence gathering capacity (ELINT).
The Nimrod was the first jet-powered MPA of any significance. Earlier MPA designs used piston or turboprop engines to improve fuel economy and allow for lengthy patrols. Jet engines are most economical at high altitudes and less economical at low altitudes. However, the transit to the operational area can be made at high altitude and in a jet aircraft this is not only economical on fuel but fast as well, compared to earlier piston-powered aircraft. After transit, the Nimrod descends to its patrol area..

This is a great clip of an engine startup of the former Planes of Fame Museum's (Chino, California) Spitfire PR. XIX. I took this JUST before this Spit was shipped off to the new owner in France, Christophe Jacquard. Steve Hinton is at the controls. This aircraft was originally a gift from King Bhumibol of Thailand to The Museum back in 1962. It was not returned to flight status until Steve Hinton and crew fitted a mighty Rolls-Royce Griffon engine and contra-rotating prop combination obtained for the very reasonable price of US$10,000. This really gave the final impetus for the completion of the restoration. The Griffon and prop were from a four-engined Avro Shackleton maritime patrol aircraft. I understand one of the major hurdles was to manufacture the huge prop spinner! The original clipped wingtips were also changed to the eliptical shape that was common to most Spitfires.
It appeared to me that Steve was further developing some flight performance data for the new owner on this flight (i.e. very slow flight at altitude, stalls, etc.).
We're sorry to see this gorgeous beast leave the USA, but I am happy to hear that the new owner is very generous in displaying and flying the aircraft at European airshows. But don't worry, the Planes of Fame Museum still has two flyable Spitfires in stock :).
