Colin Pomeroy: Nimrods on Patrol

203 Squadron was based in various places but the Mediterranean was a big hot spot during the Cold War. The Squadron was based at RAF Luqa, Malta, durint the 1960's right through to the end of the 70's when we left the British military bases. This video shows two Nimrods of the squadron shadowing Soviet shipping, they often also encountered submarines with the Nimrod's excellent detection systems. Video provided to me by Colin Pomeroy, Flt Lt (at the time) Pilot on the Squadron. Information from Colin; Date of this flight is: 18th March 1974. Aircraft is XV240. Location: Kithera, Greece, anchorage. Colin is flying the aircraft and the captain, the late Colin 'Huggiss' Hughes, in the right hand seat. This is from an ITN documentary so, as is obvious, the ITN camera crew (and reporters from ITN, Sunday Times and Sunday Express) were on our aircraft.
