Hi all, my first post on here in a while. I haven't photographed much worth showing you all until yesterday. On the way home from the Dominie retirement at Cranwell I saw XV249 in the circuit at Waddington. It has special markings applied to celebrate the end of the Nimrod R1 in RAF service. The type will be retired at the end of March this year after entering service at RAF Wyton with 51sqn in 1974. Too good an opportunity to miss.
Here are shots of both sides of the aircraft - the nose art is the same both sides, the tail has the RAF Wyton crest on the starboard side, the RAF Waddington crest on the port side. Apologies for the poor quality, the light was almost right behind the aircraft on approach, but it's the closest we've had to sunny weather whilst it's been in the circuit.
And a nice arty one from an asymmetric approach
