Этот Nimrod принадлежал 802-й эскадрилье, дислоцированной на авианосце "Глориес". Эскадрилья вооружалась самолетами Nimrod в течение 1933 года, а в 1939 году их сменили истребители Sea Gladiator

Hawker Nimrod. Истребитель Nimrod был приписан к 2-й воздушной флотилии Marine Flyvevaesenet (морской авиации). Из 12 самолетов Nimrod, имевших в датском ВМФ обозначение L.B.V, два были произведены фирмой "Hawker", остальные построены по лицензии на датском заводе "Orlogsvaerfte". Истребители Nimrod подлежали замене на самолеты Macchi МС.200, заказанные в Италии, но еще не полученные.

Восстановление данного Hawker Nimrod Mk II до годного к полетам состояния в 1990-е годы потребовало нескольких сотен часов работы и десятков тысяч фунтов стерлингов. Самолет принадлежит организации "The Fighter Collection" из Южной Англии.

Aviation Historian 19 / P.Jarrett - The Hornet dilemma

It has been suggested that the Hawker Norn, the prototype for the Nimrod naval single-seat fighter, might have been used as the demonstrator during the 1931 Balkan tour, but this seems unlikely, as it was heavily involved in Fleet Air Arm trials by that time. The Norn is seen here in November 1930 during its A&AEE trials.

Pleasant air-to-air photograph of Hawker Nimrod II K4620. One of a batch of ten delivered in October/November 1935, K4620 was first delivered to 801 Squadron and later passed to 800 Squadron. On January 8,1937 it crash-landed at Southampton. The Nimrod entered service with the FAA in 1932, replacing the Fairey Flycatcher. Nimrod IIs were fitted with arrester-hooks and had larger tail surfaces than Mk Is. Armament consisted of two fixed, synchronised Vickers guns and there was provision for carrying four 20lb bombs below the wings.

В 1933 году в частях британской авиации ВМФ произошла реорганизация. Звенья свели в эскадрильи (по три в каждой), которым присвоили номера, начинавшиеся с цифры 800. Nimrod служили в двух звеньях в 800-й (фото) и 801-й эскадрильях (авианосец "Корейджес"), а также в эскадрилье № 802 (авианосец "Фьюриес"), Третьи звенья эскадрилий оснастили самолетами Hawker Osprey. К началу Второй мировой войны почти все Nimrod были списаны и заменены на истребители Gloster Sea Gladiator и Blackburn Skua. На экспорт ушли всего четыре Nimrod: два - в Данию, один - в Японию и один - в Португалию.

A formation of eight types based at Gosport in 1938. They are, from the top, Vildebeest, Osprey, Shark, Tutor, Avro 504N, Swordfish, Nimrod and Magister. The 504N was flying at full bore while the Kestrels of the Nimrod and Osprey were throttled well back. Pilots of this “Heinz” formation were drawn from the RAF, Army, Navy and Marines; the aircraft came from the Coastal Defence Development Flight and the Torpedo Training Unit.

These three photographs show three stages in practice landings on a dummy deck marked out on the aerodrome at Leuchars. Though the conditions are not identical with those of landing on a moving carrier the practice is still very useful to the pilots.

"Entry into the arrester gear at too high a speed throws a great strain on both the aircraft and the deck cables." This remark of the author's can be readily appreciated by a study of this photograph, which shows a Hawker Nimrod being checked by an arrester cable on the deck of an aircraft carrier.

Arrester gear is as old in its conception as the idea of landing on the deck of an aircraft carrier, though the early forms, which made use of sandbag-weighted ropes, did not prove very successful; consequently these systems were gradually dropped in the Fleet Air Arm as the technique of landing on a bare deck was improved. More recently other countries, America in particular, have revived forms of arrester gear, presumably on the score of higher landing speeds, and our photographs show the latest type of arrester gear which is being used by our own Naval air service. The pivoted hook under the rear end of the fuselage catches in the cables stretched across the deck.

Two views of Hawker Nimrod II K2913 taken after a minor incident, resulting in very slight damage. One of a batch of six Nimrods supplied in October 1934, K2913 flew with Nos 800 and 801 Squadrons. It was lost in a crash off Bembridge, Isle of Wight on Marsh 22, 1937.
