An RAF Nimrod MR2 on patrol in the skies over the ice, it is shown with two submarines
An RAF Nimrod MR2 on patrol in the skies over the North Pole, it is shown with two RN submarines just breaking through the ice.
The Nimrod MR1 entered service in 1969 and was upgraded to MR2 standard in the late 1970s. While the flight deck and general systems remained the same, the Mission System was given a significant upgrade. The Nimrod is the only jet powered maritime patrol aircraft in military service and offers the advantages of speed and height in transit, while still capable of operating for long on-task periods.
The Nimrod MR2 continued in service until 2010

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an RAF Nimrod MR2 soaring through the skies above the icy North Pole, accompanied by two Royal Navy submarines emerging from beneath the frozen surface. The Nimrod MR1, initially introduced in 1969 and later upgraded to MR2 standard in the late 1970s, boasts a remarkable Mission System enhancement while retaining its reliable flight deck and general systems. As the sole jet powered maritime patrol aircraft in military service, it offers unparalleled speed and altitude during transit while maintaining extended operational capabilities. The versatile Nimrod MR2 remained in service until 2010, fulfilling crucial roles such as air defense, airborne early warning, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface unit warfare (ASUW), search and rescue (SAR), among others. This extraordinary image captures not only the aircraft's prowess but also highlights its collaboration with naval forces for enhanced security and surveillance over vast arctic territories. Photographed by WO Rick Brewell as part of RAF's centennial celebrations (RAF 100), this stunning portrayal symbolizes the unwavering commitment of both RAF and Royal Navy personnel towards safeguarding our nation's interests amidst challenging environments characterized by snow-covered landscapes and treacherous ice formations. It serves as a testament to their dedication to preserving peace and ensuring safety across land, sea, and sky.
