The Celtic League is asking the Manx government to restrict the use of Ronaldsway Isle of Man Airport by RAF Nimrod aircraft.
The call comes in the wake of comments by an English coroner investigating the deaths of the crew of a Nimrod, which exploded in mid-air over Afghanistan in September 2006.
Andrew Walker said he believed the Nimrod had never been airworthy, from its first use in 1969.
The League says the Nimrod is known to use Ronaldsway Airport periodically for training and operational purposes.
