MAVGEEKS: A Military Aircraft Obsession

The Hawker Siddeley Nimrod - Looked Like a Comet, Would Make you Vomit


Listen Later

This week our Mavgeeks are taking it right back to the old school, speaking to Flight Lieutenant Andy Bell of 70 Sqn at RAF Brize Norton about his time on arguably the RAF’s most well-known Maritime patrol aircraft, The Hawker Siddeley Nimrod. The Mavgeeks hear how it was developed from the world’s first commercial jet airliner, the need for a cast iron stomach when the Nimrod was low level cresting the waves, and just casually popping a window open to take a selfie mid-flight - no filter needed.


Written, presented and produced by Gini Carlin and Alex Gill. Email us [email protected].
