I do hope the Nimrod flies at legends this year. I now appears that the Nimrod has been serviceable and ready to swap for some time now. What are the Fighter Collection doing? They seem to be dragging their heels over this. If I were them I would swap it now.

It was great to see the Nimrod at the Shuttleworth show at the weekend.
