| Hi All, After the Nimrod accidents I see it is to be replaced with the MRA4 does anyone know what this aircraft looks like and is it available as a model for FS9. Thanks, Boldpilot |

| I hope these published comments are not a ploy by those "who have an axe to grind MP's" who are hell bent on down sizing the RAF. They should remember 1940 which could happen again. Boldpilot. |

Easy there BP.
A war in 1940, and a war in 2010 will be fought differently. And for a different reason.
Hate to say it, but your Nimrod has problems, as well as the MRA4, being 5 years out. Hell, they stopped hot flights and refueling.
You could put it up against the Marines Osprey, which has had it's own set of problems at the beginning. But look at it now. It IS one of the best kick ass flight vehicles available.
If your government was smart enough, they would have made something, or put into the works 10 yrs ago, for something you need today.
'Nuff Said.

I have to agree with ya Mel. They built 2 a/c carriers, before they had anything to put on it.
