This one shouldn’t be too hard, lots of obvious clues. It’s worth noting, though, that just like a good F1 car, there is a Neutral button on the steering wheel.

Yes! I was writing about the Lockheed RV6 Constitution , another double bubble aircraft, and found this photo. It’s a great shot.

The Nimrod was double bubble? I thought it was a Comet conversion.

TIL etc

It was. They kept the wings and engines etc. from the bottom half of the Comet and plunked a second tube on top to make room for electronic widgets, people, etc. The bottom half served as the bomb bay.
