A Nimrod reconnaissance aircraft is seen parked on tarmac at the BAE Systems factory at Woodford in Cheshire, northern England, November 1, 2010. Britain is considering selling a fleet of fighter jets it can no longer afford to fly, a government minister was quoted as saying on Monday. In an interview with the Financial Times, defence equipment minister Peter Luff said that some of the items axed in the government's recent cuts in defence spending, including the Nimrod MRA4 reconnaissance aircraft, would find a home abroad.
Two Nimrod MRA4 reconnaissance aircraft sit parked on the tarmac waiting to be scrapped at the BAE Systems factory at Woodford in Cheshire on February 1, 2011 in Woodford, England. Dismantling of a fleet of nine new RAF Nimrod reconnaissance aircraft that cost nearly £4bn to build has begun behind giant screens at BAE Woodford. Six former military chiefs of staff said destroying the Nimrod MRA4 spy planes opened a 'massive gap in British security'. Unions have also condemed the scrapping of the aircraft which cost £445m each.
So much money wasted! Pitty
UK forces use explosives to save time, lives
British army engineers place an explosive charge on an obstacle barring their entry from a simulated enemy compound. British army engineers with the Brigade Advisor Group conducted a demolitions training exercise to keep their explosives handling skills up to date at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, Feb. 1.

No, it's the plane alright. It's a bastardised 1950s Comet airliner under all the improvements.
haha Fighter Jets. They aren't ugly they are freaking sweet...all those curves and humps!Britain is considering selling a fleet of fighter jets
Everytime I saw one of those I always wondered what were they... Now I know!
Multinational Base Tarin Kot, Is that the new name for "Kamp Holland" ?
In my memory its always been Tarin Kowt.
Yeah, I kinda noticed when the Dutch were there, the media always called it Kamp Holland.
After the pullout, and the Americans came in, media called it MNB Tarin Kowt.
So I sorta went along with it lol.
Nice pics today! Thx!
