Michael Evans & Stewart Tendler. Times 14.2.03, p 15. Looks at the RAF's airborne "high-tech spy centre" or "communications platform", the Nimrod MRA2. The deployment of the Nimrod, which circles London at 44,000 feet, and provides secure communications for MI5 officers, the SAS and police officers, "brings together every aspect of government surveillance machinery and counter-terrorist expertise and shows an unprecedented display of co-operations between the police and military."
