Corgi AA35601 captures the distinctive profile of Britain's long-serving maritime patrol aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperating from RAF Kinloss in Moray, Nimrod crews patrolled the North Atlantic and waters surrounding the United Kingdom. Their work included maritime surveillance, anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare, support for naval operations and long-range search and rescue missions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. 201 Squadron was one of the Royal Air Force units closely associated with the Nimrod force at Kinloss. Its crews used the aircraft's long endurance and extensive sensor equipment to monitor large areas of sea, investigate contacts and provide assistance during emergencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped from the de Havilland Comet airliner, the Nimrod combined a familiar swept-wing jet airframe with a redesigned lower fuselage, internal weapons bay and specialist mission systems. The improved MR.2 introduced upgraded radar, navigation and acoustic equipment, allowing the type to remain central to RAF maritime operations until its retirement in 2010.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFact Sheet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corgi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aviation Archive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel code:\u003c\/strong\u003e AA35601\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAircraft:\u003c\/strong\u003e BAe Nimrod MR.2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial:\u003c\/strong\u003e XV240\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit:\u003c\/strong\u003e No. 201 Squadron, RAF Kinloss Wing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e RAF Kinloss, Moray, Scotland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate\/Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2004\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperator \/ Country:\u003c\/strong\u003e Royal Air Force \/ United Kingdom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:144\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavyweight diecast metal with quality subcomponents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Authentic RAF Kinloss markings, detailed mission-sensor fit, optional-position undercarriage and presentation display stand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Dimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.5 inches \/ 26.7 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWingspan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5 inches \/ 24.1 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCondition\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Condition - Excellent (8\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay history:\u003c\/strong\u003e Does not appear to have been displayed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTail fin and wings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paint inconsistency or mark along the leading ridge of the tail fin, with fine crack lines in the paint beneath the wings.
