Sadly, there was no public farewell in the flying display at this year's Waddington Airshow, but instead the final two operational aircraft were confined to static display, marking the passing of the Nimrod R1 from RAF service. Truly the end of an era. This photo is copyright © Mark McEwan, and may not be used or published in any way without permission. It was added on 9 December 2020, and has since been viewed 165 times. |
