It's an RAF Nim-road

Nim-roadA Nimrod spy plane travels along the A96 from RAF Kinloss on its way to a new home at Highland Aviation Museum, Inverness.

The surveillance aircraft, one of which exploded in mid-air over Afghanistan in 2006 killing 14 personnel, were withdrawn from military service earlier this year.

One onlooker yesterday said: "The Nimrods were a familiar sight at Kinloss - it's really sad to see them go."
