History of the original:
The BAe Nimrod is a British maritime patrol aircraft, primarily operated by the Royal Air Force. The aircraft was based on the De Havilland Comet jet airliner, and its production began in the late 1960s. Nimrod aircraft were mainly used for anti-submarine warfare, maritime reconnaissance, and search and rescue, participating in operations such as the Falklands War and numerous NATO missions during the Cold War and the first decade of the 21st century. The UK operated Nimrods in frontline service from 1969 until 2011, making this aircraft one of the most iconic machines of its era.
