>> As good as the nimrod? which are?
We have lots of other sub detection systems for the UK itself. Further afield the Type 23 frigates and our own subs.
>> same as any other a/c really.
So a spare part for the P8 based on a 737 is probably available already. For the sole 9 flying Comets (i.e. the Nimrods) they would not be available. And they couldn't because each part would have to be made to fit a particular plane. The airframes were not identical. A part from one might not and probably would not fit another.
The Nimrod was out of date as was it's electronic/computer systems. Read real reports on this rather than the biased press.
Good riddance Nimrod I say.
