The aircraft was maintained in taxyable condition. The airfield has been sold but the aircraft has been preserved though it may not be seen taxying again, a great pity

Interesting contrast between colour schemes with sistership XV250 on the Nimrod flightline. XV226 was the first production Nimrod MR1 which first flew in June 1968, and was used extensively on the Nimrod development programme. This example finally entered service in early 1973.

Used at Woodford and Boscombe Down for trials on the MR2 and AEW3 Electronic Warfare Support Measures (EWSM). The most obvious external feature indicating the EWSM equipped aircraft is the wingtip pods, XV241 was the first Nimrod to receive these.

One of just four airworthy Nimrod MR2s left during the final month of RAF service. Due to budgetary constraints, the MR2 has been withdrawn from service a year earlier than originally planned. Just as normal, the final days of operations saw one aircraft on constant standby at Kinloss, ready to provide SAR cover in the event of an incident at sea. Until the Nimrod MRA4 comes into operational service in 2012, the shortfall in the UK's SAR capabilities will be provided, in part, by RAF Hercules.
