Listen "Ep.210 - Cold War Coastal Command Chapter 13: Nimrod's Genesis"
Episode Synopsis
The Shackleton replacement now started to become more urgent.
For years the Air Staff and Ministries had argued over what type should replace the Shackleton, including variants of the Vulcan, Britannia, VC10 and Trident, before settling for the Nimrod in 1964
We return to Chris Gibson, author of the brilliant book 'Nimrod’s Genesis' to learn how the process unfolded.
