"Nimrod the Mighty Hunter" a long range anti-submarine aircraft, which also undertook many other duties. This example is preserved in a taxiing condition.
The ill fated Nimrod MR4A took part in the flying display at Royal International Air Tattoo 2009, RAF Fairford.
The Nimrod carried two navigators, one for routing and a tactical navigator who got them into position for battle area and weapons decisions. The Nimrod did carry nuclear armed torpedo's!
Emerging from the tunnel under Medicine Tree Hill, MRL's ML manifest crosses the Clark Fork River and enters the siding at Nimrod on MRL's 3rd Sub.
Just to the left of the lead locomotive, behind the signal mast, is a number of bridge girders. These are from the former Milwaukee Road bridge here that was dismantled in the last several years. The MILW Pacific Extension once paralleled the former Northern Pacific from Garrison through Nimrod to Missoula.

The sin of King Nimrod, in the Old Testament, was to build a tower high enough to reach into Heaven so that he could access God.
The myth goes that as the Tower of Babel reached a great height, God was displeased and was concerned that humanity as a unified people would be capable of great things by their working together. So "He" caused great confusion in peoples' minds and sent them running in divergent directions. This confusion caused them to splinter their singular language into dozens of different tongues, from which sprang many nations and differing cultures of the world.
The arrogance of modern technology and science seeks to replace god ( God ) with it's own singular omnipotence, to reach heights unforeseen where every single aspect of life can be known and predicted. That would qualify as 'omniscience' to me, a quality usually reserved for the Biblical God. It's richly ironic how science works SO hard to deny the existence of God while doing everything it can to take 'his' place.

A beautifully preserved Hawker Nimrod on display at IWM Duxford. Developed as a naval variant of the Hawker Fury, the Nimrod served with the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm in the 1930s, combining elegant lines with capable performance. A rare glimpse into Britain’s interwar aviation history.
