The Nimrod Review

Nimrod XV230 was lost on 2 September 2006, whilst on a mission over Helmand Province in Southern Afghanistan, in support of NATO and Afghan ground forces.  XV230 suffered a catastrophic mid-air fire, leading to the total loss of the aircraft and the death of all 14 Service personnel on board.

Charles Haddon-Cave QC was appointed in December 2007 by the then Secretary of State for Defence, Des Browne MP, to conduct an independent inquiry into the loss of RAF Nimrod XV230, and charged, in particular, with establishing responsibility for any failures and what lessons are to be learned.
