No probs Dave, Didn't think anyone had posted it here, but i'm always missing things and getting egg on face when going "Here did you hear this...

" so thought i'd run for cover as I lobbed it over the wall.

It had been said the Nimrods would be covered but I hadn't yet heard by what

Of course this is only a small part of the Nimrod's duties.

Yes indeed.. perhaps the title should have read Hercs to cover Nimrod SAR duties till replacement arrives. Nice to know stricken vessels will have some cover and you can throw an awful lot of liferafts out of a Herc!

Quite! Enough to sink a battleship!

Dont give them any ideas

they might start rolling depth charges out the back door like the old convoy escorts used to do it off the stern of the ship.

They could even pick them up like the USAF used to do..........don't know if they still do...as in James Bond
