Nimrod Rise and Fall - any good?

[speedy 626]

Would you describe the book as reference or a good read. I’m thinking about picking up an Airfix kit and doing an R1.

I have deep fondness for Nimrods and was lucky enough to grow up around them, but personally I found this book to be a huge disappointment as either a good read or reference source.

It might have been the copy I had borrowed, but many of the images seemed to be low-rez internet grabs.

Books are a bit of  personal taste thing though, so maybe borrow a copy if you can find it.

 

If you are looking for resource, I would trawl the internet for images, and there is the preserved R.1 at Cosford for interior reference.

Thanks James you’ve answered my question. I’ll move on to the next thought

This book isn’t too bad. Lots of quality photos and artwork.

Hi Steve,

I found the book quite an enjoyable read, plenty of  photos, but like most books of this type it's writen from the aircrew prospective!
