The Hawker Nimrod was a British carrier-based fighter aircraft built between the First and Second World Wars. It was developed from the earlier Norn with the first production Nimrod Mk.Is entering service in 1933 with 801, 802, and 803 squadrons of the Fleet Air Arm. The Nimrod Mk.II followed these in September 1934, possessing arrestor gear, more powerful engines, and increased area tail surfaces.
