9781908117793 | Misc Books | Nimrod: Rise & Fall (hardback) - Tony BlackmanThe scrapping of the Nimrod programme has been one of the most controversial events in the military aviation world for many a year.

The scrapping of the Nimrod programme has been one of the most controversial events in the military aviation world for many a year. For most of its operational life, from 1969 to date, its contribution to the defence of the realm and its role in offensive duties was, of necessity, often shrouded in secrecy. It was the ‘eye in the sky’ which was absolutely vital to a host of activities – from anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare, to support of land battles throughout the world, to the Falklands campaign, to combating drug-running, the Nimrod’s unsung role was paramount. And now the UK is bereft of such a multi-tasking reconnaissance aircraft. The full story of the Nimrod, and its significance, has now been told. Tony Blackman, who was there at the beginning, test-flew nearly every aircraft and was at Kinloss on the very day the project was cancelled, has written this timely book, covering every facet of its history, its weapons system developments and its tragic accidents. He writes in an approachable way, making technical subjects understandable but his conclusions will, inevitably, not be welcomed by everyone.

Good Cable
Size: 2AWG 15FT + 15FT, Color: Red + Black
Work as intended. I used it to run some cable to a second battery from the first. If you're going to do that though, 100% have two fuses. One next to each battery post. It's pretty heavy cable too, good stuff.
