The Nimrod Review - Official Documents

PART V: AFTERMATH
Introduction to Part V
Part V – Aftermath
1. A large number of measures have been taken since the loss of XV230 to address airworthiness
issues with Nimrod aircraft, including those identified both by the Board of Inquiry and subsequent
technical investigations (see Chapter 15).
2. I have been kept abreast of these measures and would have issued an interim report if anything had
come to my attention which gave me immediate cause for concern.
3. The successful continued operation of the Nimrod fleet in support of our Armed Forces, whilst
coping with problems identified and arising in the aftermath of XV230, is a tribute to the dedication
of the RAF Nimrod community.
4. I address issues arising in relation to the Inquest in Chapter 16.
