Subject: Nimrod Crash

Hi All,
This post is sort of skunky, but more in the role of
the aircraft.
I've just heard that a Nimrod of the Royal Air Force crashed
yesterday during a display in Toronto (?) , Canada.
Unfortuneately, all seven crew members were killed.
This is the second crash involving Nimrods in the past couple of
months, when a Nimrod had to ditch in the sea north of its base in
Lossiemouth, Scotland.
The last I heard, the black box had not been recovered from the
Toronto crash. Apparently, the aircraft banked steeply at the end of
its display, when its nose dropped very low and the aircraft hit the
sea.
Cheers,
Nigel R
