120 Squadron special markings on XV240 during a visit to Canada. Retired in 2009, the aircraft became a gate guard at RAF Kinloss where it was based. Unfortunately after the cancellation of the follow on Nimrod MRA4 and the decision to close the base, it was scrapped in November 2011. The nose section was saved however, and has been mounted on a trailer as a travelling exhibit. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
