stever219 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the loss of XV239 at the Ontario air display and the 11th anniversary of the loss of XV230 in Afghanistan. In both cases all aboard lost their lives and, ironically, both crews were from 120 Squadron. Rest in Peace gentlemen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B (Sc) Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 RIP indeed. Two sad events, both so unnecessary. I miss the Nimrods, as do many of us - lovely looking machine, fine sound, very capable platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
