There was often a mighty raw and then themighty Nimrod R1 would be seen to soar
high above the engines would roar
This was the magic of the legendary 51 Squadron SWIFT BUT SURE.
She finally been laid to rest after many years of great service
and will be truly missed .
long flights and rations and sweet bars to
they were a great bunch her crew.
My memories came flooding back this week
when i heard the news of her last flight from R.A.F Waddington
where she took of for all to see with band playing
and last farewells to an aircraft which was legendary
I remember my short spell abroad on attachment to
I had a great time and will always remember the squadron and crews.
Good luck and farewell .
