“Nimrod XV250 was built at Woodford as an MR.1 aircraft and first flown on 21 January 1971. It was delivered to RAF Kinloss on 18 February 1971 and was transferred to 203 Squadron at RAF Luqa, Malta on 4 February 1972. The aircraft returned to Kinloss in 1975 and was transferred to Woodford on 16 June 1982 for conversion to MR2 specification. It made its initial flight in that configuration on 10 June 1983 and was re-delivered to RAF Kinloss on 8 July 1983. Except for periods at RAF St Mawgan in 1979 and the 1980s, XV250 remained based at Kinloss with deployments elsewhere until withdrawn from RAF service on 31 March 2010. The aircraft made its last flight to Elvington on 13 April 2010, where it is maintained in ground operational condition.”
