XV235 was built as an MR.1 and later converted to an MR.2. It was retired at RAF Kinloss in March 2010 and scrapped on site some months later. The forward fuselage was transported to the Avro Museum at the former Avro/BAE plant at Woodford, where she is now on display representing the integral part that Woodford played in Nimrod production and upgrades.
