Hawker Siddeley Nimrod

A maritime patrol aircraft used by the Royal Air Force, based on the fuselage of the de Havilland Comet. Introduced in the late 1960s, it retained the Comet’s distinctive wing-root engine configuration. The Nimrod served for over forty years, representing the final, refined evolution of the world's first jetliner airframe.
