The Nimrod MRA4 is due to enter service with the RAF at the turn of the decade, when it will replace the present Nimrod MR2 at RAF Kinloss. Although the MRA4 looks similar to the MR2, only the basic fuselage shell and the empennage is shared. The Nimrod MRA4 will have completely new systems and a new, larger wing carrying advanced Rolls-Royce Deutschland (RRD) BR710 turbofan engines.
