The British Aerospace or Hawker-Siddeley Nimrod MRA.4 the Nimrod that never made it
The British Aerospace Nimrod MRA.4 was a cancelled British long-range Maritime Patrol and Anti-Submarine Warfare aircraft developed from the earlier Hawker-Siddeley Nimrod MR.2 but sadly multiple cost overruns and design trouble killed it but while the cost overruns are the fault of the BAE Systems, the design trouble goes much father back, how?
Well I'll explain....
The Nimrod MRA.4's problem goes back to the original De-Havilland Comet 4Cs as each Comet was basically its own unique airframe because of how De-Havilland built them at the time which meant there was no commonality of parts which was the same problem on the Nimrods.
So let's start a discussion
If the De-Havilland Aircraft company had made the De-Havilland Comets the same as ideally they should have done and designers had the imagination to conceive that that the Comet would be used as an MPA.
Would this have helped the Hawker-Siddeley Nimrod MRA.4? and if the British had managed to make this Nimrod MRA.4 work then would the RAF have ordered the P-8A Poseidon MRA.1?
