The Nimrod R MK1 has taken its final flight at a ceremony at RAF Waddington. The last remaining surveillance aircraft has been retired, following 37 years of operational service. The aircraft won a brief reprieve during operations in Libya, but has now been grounded. Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton was at the ceremony to recognise the contribution made by the aircraft, its crews and support personnel.
