Barry Bromley, e-mail, 30.12.2023 09:50 The Mk II Nimrod had swept wings, as did the later modified Mk1s.

Glenn Ridsdale, e-mail, 21.03.2018 20:52 The drawings are inaccurate. As your photos (and my own) clearly show, the Nimrod had no wing sweep.

Philippe Cantinaux, e-mail, 17.12.2008 01:39 The Portuguese Nimrod is a mystery. It exists only on the British document (a.o from Hawker) and on none Portuguese document or other source. Furthermore, the only fighers in service in Portugal at this time (a 'Squadron' of 3 Hawker Fury) belong to the Army Aviation. Was this plane lost 'on route', sent to Spain (no exhaustive list of Spanish Republican AF aircraft exhists) or to another destination? Or did it arriove in Portugal to serve as a source of spare?
