Description

Nimrod Boys – Tales from the Nimrod Community

Nimrod Boys, written by Tony Blackman with Joe Kennedy, collects more than 20 first-hand accounts from people who operated the Hawker Siddeley Nimrod.

The stories cover the aircraft’s maritime and anti-submarine roles as well as operations during the Falklands Campaign, the First Gulf War and later anti-drug-smuggling work in the Caribbean.

Contributors also recall the International Fincastle Competition, crew life and the aircraft’s navigation and electronic systems. The perspectives include a female air electronics operator and a flight-test observer reflecting on the cancelled Nimrod MR4 project.

The 256-page paperback includes a foreword by AVM Andrew Roberts and complements Tony Blackman’s Nimrod Rise and Fall.
